[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 293824, member: 55"] Does your boat have transom tie down rings, or handles? If so, make a tow bridle from a 15' piece of line that runs from ring to ring, around the outboard, and attach the tube line to the bridle with a carabiner or shackle. Slipping the loop of the tube line over the bridle is not a good idea, as the sliding from side to side will wear out the end of the loop - the stainless clevis allows it to slide with minimal wear. I prefer to allow the tube line to slide along the bridle, as opposed to tying it tight, as when it's tied tight, the inside half of the bridle will go slack around the turn, and pull the boat around moreso than if it's pulling evenly the whole way.
