I have a trailer that cannot be seen while backing it up to retreive
my boat
becasue the tailgate of my truck to to high. The trailer is to narrow
to be
seen in the mirrors.

I saw a boat trailer that had a pop up flag on a spring loaded arm
which
popped up when the boat was offloaded and which when the boat hull ran
over
it on trailering. Since it pops up when the boat is off the trailer,
it can
be easily seen when backing up.


Does anybody know where I can find such a thing or what it is called?

Thanks
AK
Can't you put the tail gate down? Or make one of the flag things out
of those flags that they put on kid's bicycles, that come on a long
fiberglass stick. Just drill a hole in the trailer and stick it in. It
won't fold automatically but it will do the job.
