Tubing without a tow bar

[hdradaza]

We would like to go tubing (ordered one already - connelly triple x) but I don't have a tow bar. I had two extra big U bolts installed in the boat when I was rebuilding it. I purposely did not install a tow bar ( Am getting old to consider BIG AIR for wakeboarding ) .

How do I set this up so the line won't get caught in the prop ?

Is there a ready made accessory I can purchase ? ( Maybe a Y type of rope attachment from one side of the boat to the other u bolt side ?Both U bolts are on the outer sides of the boat on the transom.

You're looking for a y-harness like this:

The clips attach to your u-bolts, the tube attaches to the red piece.

Re: Tubing without a tow bar

After getting a specific Bayliner Ski Boat model with a built in ski bar, I recently found out it should not be used for tubing. Apparently it's too much strain on the bar, go figure
