I was wondering what you guys think is the best way to atach a wakeboarding towrope to a tower.

The tower is a "stock" tower(manufacturer installed) and has a plastic bushing(or whatever you call that thing you tie the rope around).

I have been using a "straight line" rope.

I'm wondering if there is a specific way to tie the rope on so you get the least amount of wear on both items, tower and rope.

Or maybe you guys just have a better way.(maybe some fancy sailor knots?):D

Re: Ataching Tow Rope to Tower

geez, Im not sure how to explain...you kind of create a loop by pulling the rope through existing loop, so that when you put tension on it, it will close and "lock" around the bushing. Damn! I had "the book" video in my car until yesterday, and there is a video I could have taken some screen shots of that shows you exactly what I mean...Ill look around you tube.

I know what your saying about making a loop through the existing loop.

Thats what I have been doing, works fine.
