This is what I use too.........but I tie it off my bow cheat and run it along side about 1/2 to 2/3 the length of the boat. That way there is no way it will get in the prop. If you tow it off the stern there will definitately be a time during the day/night when you forget about it. Then someone is swimming to get it clear of the prop.
