Ski tubes are made to withstand the constant abuse of the wake and the riders but sometimes they can get holes or tears. You don’t have to buy a new ski tube unless of course you really want one. You can repair them and possibly get a season full of rides with the repair. No ski tube owner should be with out a PVC repair kit.

How to connect your tow rope to your new tube or towable.

Filed under Ski Tubing Tips by

You bought your tow rope. You bought your ski tube and now you want to know how to attach the tow rope to the tube. Don’t get discouraged it’s easy!

Today’s water sports market offers so many choices. There are many different boats, ski tubes, boat towables and tow ropes.  First things first, let’s make sure that you have the correct tow rope for the correct tube. For more info on that just go here.

So let’s get started hooking up your new boat towable. I like to use a tow harness when hooking up my ski tubes.  The one in the picture below will work just fine.Ski Tube Tow Harness

If you don’t have a tow harness, I would suggest getting one. You can find a nice selection of them here.

We will be focusing on one particular part of the tow harness, it is the white connector. Your ski tube should have one similar.

Tow harness connector

Let’s hook the tow harness to our tow rope first. You need to locate the end of your tow rope. It should have a loop in it. Feed the loop through the hole in the connector. Some super duty tow ropes might be difficult to fit through that small hole but if you twist them they will fit.

Feed the tow rope through the connector hole.

Now you should have the loop through the hole in the center of the connector like this.

Tow rope through the harness

Now you need to pull the other end of the tow rope through the loop that you just fed through the harness connector.

Ski tube connection

Once you have fed the other end of the tow rope all the way through pull it tight and you should have something like this.

Hooking up your new ski tube

Now just repeat the whole process for your ski tube hookup. Now you should have your tow rope hooked to your boat towable and hooked to the harness. Now we need to hook the harness to the boat.

Most boats have eyelets located on the transom or back where the motor is. Simply attach the hooks from the tow harness to the eyelets like this.Ski tube tow harness hookup
