You aren't supposed to use the clips on the sides and we don't have any eye clips so what is the safest way to attach the ropes? I don't want them getting mixed in the propeller. I've read to use the ball to help lift the rope up and also to let other boaters know there is a person in the water, but I can't find anything on exactly how to do this, even on u-tube. Where to tie it up and how to tie it up. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Install a tow bar, period.

BY all means a tow bar is the way to go but if your budget is low or you are just getting started, you can pull from a lifting eye on one or both of your pontoons. We did it from one side of ski boats in the sixties before we knew we couldn't do that.

We use this:

And attach it to the eyes on the pontoons that your trailering strap attach to.

We use a similar one, but it has a pulley to allow the tube to be slung outside of the wake easier.

Love it! I think I'll get that one next season.

X2 I also cut up a noodle and put on the rope (saddle) to keep it from sinking into the prop.
