We have a small boat with minimal room inside and this product has been awesome. Very easy to use and has enabled us to tie down the tube without any worries creating comfort inside the boat for riding when not in use. Not sure what we would have used without this product.

This is the right idea, but a bad design. Hooks up easy and seems to work, but it eventually breaks. The ends of the bungee cable are connected to clips with compression fittings - bad idea. What happens when a bungee stretches? It gets thinner, and the compression fitting come loose. We lost our tube one day after hitting a boat wake. I fixed the TubeKeeper, but a couple weeks later we lost the tube again on rough water and didn't know it. Spent a hour looking for the tube. And we lost a few parts of the TubeKeeper. Not that it matters, we wouldn't have used it again anyway. Maybe there's another product out there with a better design. Don't buy this one if you want to keep your tube.

Comments about Airhead The Tubekeeper, set of 2:
This product gives you your boat back. Before, if you brought the tube, it was either in the water or a tremendous obstruction in the boat. Now, it hangs off the back (sort of) and everyone can move around the boat, and see the skier/boarder, etc. The only issue I had was that once you take off the tube, make sure to stow the cables at the same time. The rubber suction plates will not stay on the boat without the weight as pressure. I lost one that way and had to buy another set. Totally my fault.

This lasted one season. After only a few trips, the compression-style join failed and the straps snapped into several parts and flew off the boat (with the tube). Great concept, bad design that fails easily.

Bungee cord came apart after trying to use it to tie down a large tube while driving down the road - was able to re-assemble the cord - works good while on the water - may work nbetter for smaller tubes.

Comments about Airhead The Tubekeeper, set of 2:
Tubekeeper worked great holding down 3-person tubes on back of boat at speeds of 30 mph. Actually used 1 pair to hold down 2 tubes, by placing bottom tube w/ handles up and then putting top tube with handles down, and threading the tubekeeper's straps through both tubes' handles. Suction cups work very well on clean, dry gelcoat. So handy to not have inflated tubes taking up interior seating areas when boating to tubing area.

Comments about Airhead The Tubekeeper, set of 2:
Once you find a place on the boat that the suction cup will hold on to, they hold strong. I would probably trust these more if I had a cleat close to where I want to attach them, but the suction cups hold our tube on the back of the boat strongly.

Q:
We purchased "The Tubekeeper" and it works great! We did lose one of the black clips and I was wondering if you can tell me where I can purchase a replacement.Asked on 7/14/2009 by Lori from Des Moines, IA.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Lori:
I am very sorry to let you know that we do not have replacement parts for the Tube Keeper. The item is assembled overseas and comes into our facility as one complete unit. You "might" be able to utilize a "D" ring that you can get from Home Depot and clamping the bungee around it to secure. Or unfortuntely, it might be easier to purchase a new set, sorry about that.
Hope you have a great boating season and thanks for your support of Airhead!
