Airhead Tube Keeper Towable Tie-Down Straps with Suction Cups, TB-101

The Airhead Tube Keeper (TB-101) is a set of adjustable tie-down straps built to secure towable tubes and inflatables to a boat's stern for the ride out to the water. Instead of a passenger lying across the tubes to keep them from flying out, the Tube Keeper straps around each tube's handles and anchors it in place, freeing up passenger space and reducing the risk of a tube coming loose while underway.

Each strap is 2 inches wide and adjustable, so it tightens down for a secure hold once looped around the tube handles. For attaching to the boat, the Tube Keeper gives you two options: giant 3-1/4 inch suction cups that grip onto smooth boat and auto finishes without scratching them, or stretch cords that loop around a cleat, rail, or other anchor point when a flat surface isn't available. The suction cups and stretch cord attachment are secured with a snap closure for quick hookup and release.

The straps are made of nylon in black, built to hold up to sun, water, and repeated use on the water. The Tube Keeper is a universal accessory and works with towable tubes generally, rather than being matched to a specific make or model.
