This rope for pulling a tube?

[Supersportster]

Hey, The tube rope in the link below is on clearance at my boat store.

My question is , could I use it to connect to my two U-bolts with carabiners on each end of the 10 foot section, and then just connect the 50 foot to that 10 foot section?

Or should I jsut get a proper rope that I have seen in posts on here?

yeah that ropes should be fine. Just connect it to the tow hook in the back of the boat. Im looking at getting the bungee rope to see how much diffrent it is.

Do mean to just hook it straight to on of the lift U bolts, or can I make a Y out of it by carabinering it to the left U bolt, then slide the loop iwth the float of the 50 foot rope on, then attaching the other end of the 10 foot rope to the right U bolt with a carabiner?

Thanks,

WShane

I wouldn't connect the two ropes as you described.

You would have rope rubbing on rope, it will bind and wear.

You can use the longer section of rope, but get a proper harness. like this one:
