Attaching a coated dyneema line to a Waverunner

My uncle just bought a new waverunner and its big enough that the wake is decent, nothing big but its clean. i just bought a new coated dyneema line and i need someway to attach it to his ring. The ring is strictly that, a ring. It has no way to attach a rope unless you tie it on and i dont wanna screw up that highdollared line so i need a way to tie on without screwing up the coating on the line. Thanks bro's
This seems like it would work to me but im wondering of its gonna screw it up

Ewww I don't like this idea. Your taking a non stretch line and attaching to a totally stretchy tow harness...what's the point. Where's the tow eye at? Single tow line off the back of the seat or dual tow eyes off the right and left of the jet?

I know my Yama is a single eye off the back I'd just stick the loop through the eye on your line and then run the handle and everything through. Or by a stainless steel caribener from lowes/homedepot and attach it with that?

Why not this?

If the white plastic head isn't the part that connects to his waverunner, then connect the loop of the mainline to the wave runner just like you would connect the yellow loop.

Wake - we have one of these for our tube except we just have a metal caribener that attaches the loop on the tow harness to the ski and the tube line attaches to the white part. It makes it super easy to attach lines. The white part doesn't attach to the ski.

But to your second point I totally agree. Just attach the mainline directly to the ski with the same method you've illustrated. Get rid of the tow harness completely.
