Coming across an issue when pulling a tube. Tried with a 60' rope from the transom but the rope tends to get buried in the wake and I can barely get any swing or momentum. decided to try the booster ball but still the rope gets trapped from the wake. I started pulling the tube from the tower and it seems to work way better, but my concern is will I damage the tower with a 3 person tube with about 600lbs of total riders? any suggestions for pulling a tube without jeopardizing the integrity of the boat?
 
Make sure your rope matches the capacity of the tube. I was using a 4 person tow rope on a 2 person tube and had the same issue. I don't have any issues when using the smaller sized rope with the same tube.
