Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Our pontoon doesn't have a tow bar accessory. How should we tie the Big Mable to the boat for towing folks? Have never towed anyone yet-any recs would be appreciated.

We tow a one person tube with this:

I don't know if there are any restrictions to the amount you can tow with it.

I think a tow rope was included with the Big Mable. I noticed from the picture that there's a V-split in the tow line. Can I just attach those to the stern cleats? Will they be strong enough? Here's a pic of what serves as our cleats (U-bolts) tho the pic is of our bow cleat. Unfortunately, our stern cleats aren't equal distance from the stern so we'd have to re-do the lengths of the V-split. Really looking forward to trying out the Mable!

Does your toon have eyes welded to the rear of veach log, where you would normally attach trailer kold-down straps?

This is where we attach ours.

We use something similar except ours has a pulley that slides back and forth - helps to sling the tube out easier. We also use one of those Power balls to keep the rope up out of the water.

No eyes on the back of the toons. Will attach to the u-bolts. Thanks all!

We tie a tube to one corner. Its not balanced but we weren't doing more than 12MPH and it worked just fine. If we tubed more I'd get something to even the load
