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.


Why not kill two birds with one stone? Install a pair of guide poles on the
trailer. They will help you guide the boat onto the trailer and provide a
taller point on the empty trailer that you might be able to see over the
tailgate.

Of course,I also second just lowering the tailgate, assuming it doesn't hit
the bow post.
