I have used for several years now a towing bridle made by C-Level in CT. It
clips on to the towing eyes on the tubes of my inflatable and has a float at
the loop where you attach the tow line. For a tow line I have a length of
3/8" poly line with an eye spliced in one end. I loop the eye of the tow
line thru the eye in the bridle then attach the bitter end to a stern cleat.
I can adjust the length as necessary and move the line to an amidship cleat
and pull it alongside when I back up or anchor.

What is a good dinghy tow rope and painter? Should float well enough that
it doesn't get sucked into the prop but still pleasant to handle and hold
knots well.
