Never hook towable to wake tower. Some people will tell you they do it. It is not a good idea. Hook it to tow hook on transom.

Towable creates a lot more drag than a wake board or skis, puts a good amount of stress on wake tower, some people do it, it's not advised

Because the manual says not to.

On a serious note there is no advantage to pulling a tube from an elevated position and it would put a lot more stress on the tower than any kind of boarding activity. It could put enough stress on the tower to cause a structural failure.

I think it also pulls the tube in a direction that may cause a bit more "flight" than desired, especially when towing the little ones.

I've heard it was not even legal to pull towable from wake tower, but don't know if that's true or not. Was explained to me it's very dangerous because you can catch unbelievable height from a towable using wake tower. Sounds like fun if you are adult though...lol, but probably not advisable for kids.
