You'll need a tow harness, something like this, connected to the trailer tie-downs on the stern:

Then you connect the tube's towline to that.
Of course, then you need something like this to raise the tow line out of the water:

Or you go all the way and get a towing bracket that mounts over the outboard, but it's an investment 🙂
