Tube Keeper… Keep your ski tube tied down

Filed under Ski Tubing Tips by

Are you looking for a great way to keep your ski tube or boat towable in your boat and out of the way?

Check out the tube keeper!
This great little device will do just that. Keep your ski tube tied down and out of the way while you are under way! Did you just ask yourself, How does this tube keeper work? Well I am going to tell you! It’s pretty simple but most great tools or inventions are fairly simple. Someone once said to me don’t you know about the K.I.S.S. theory? I thought to myself, nope never heard of it. They replied K.I.S.S. is an anagram for Keep It Simple Stupid! So let’s check out the tube keeper.  It should be in every tube owners inventory, just like and electric pump or a super duty tow rope.

The tube keeper has handy two inch wide straps that will attach your ski tube or boat towable to your boat’s stern and tighten it down for a secure hold.  One end of the straps attach around the ski tube or boat towable’s handles and the other end can attach to your boat with the 3.5 inch suction cups or the stretch cords which can be hooked into a cleat or a rail. This can be a great way to keep your ski tube in place and save some space at the same time. At the time of this writing the tube keeper is only $9.00, that’s another reason why every tube owner should have one.

Pump up your ski tube or boat towable.

Filed under Ski Tubing Tips by

There are many ways to inflate your boat towable or ski tube. Get an electric pump and have your tube inflated in no time!

So you have your new ski tube, tow rope and tow harness, well your going to need a pump for that boat towable and there are quite a few pumps on the market today. The choice really depends on how fast you want to get that tube inflated and on the water.

There are manual hand pumps. Sure they require a little more work but when there is no electricity around then what other choice do you have? I like to keep a manual pump in my boat as a spare. There are also manual foot pumps.

Then we have the electric pumps. These pumps will get your tube inflated quickly but there are quite a few choices for electric pumps as well.

There are 120 volt electric pumps that work in a regular wall outlet.

There are 12 volt electric pumps that will work in the old lighter adapter.

There are also rechargeable 12 volt air pumps.

So when it comes to pumps for your new or that old favorite ski tube, there are many choices and each pump has it ups and downs.
