    New boat/pylon 98 Bayliner

    It has a ski pylon/tripod, how do I connect the ski rope to it? is there a clip or does it get looped around and tied some special way. I can take a picture of it if I need to. Also, it says not to attach a tube, is that because it will be higher than a tube should be pulled at?
