Need help with towing hardware
 

We generally tow 2 to 3 tubes.
The problem I have is the rope catches in the wake and spins the tubes
sideways.
I would like to elevate the ropes.
I thought about a tower, but all the towers I've looked at only have 1
hook

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What are you using now... tow eyes & bridle?

For most boats, a mid-boat pylon is too high & forward for towing
today's bigger tubes, and tubes put a lot more strain on than a
wakeboarder, so the tower really is out of the question due to safety
concerns.

You need good locations at the stern. Tube manufacturers recommend the
stern lifting cleat, which is about as high as you can go safely. If it
is a well built boat with substantial hardware, the stern cleats can be
used too, with balanced loads, and these are the locations we use on our
Correct Craft inboard.

Be careful with multiple tube towing. The riders have very little
control and rope tangling/catching is pretty common on harder wipe-outs,
serious injuries can & have occurred.

We do not tow more than one skier or tube and attach the tow rope to the
transom ring at the center of the transom.

We tow multiple tubes from the center of the tower. I suppose you could
also tow from the two sides of the tower. Since they are aluminum pipe you
can attach a rope anywhere.
