Default Trailer Hitch Questions

Look at it from where a car is behind you. Can you see the lights ok and
would they catch your eye. If not, then consider adding lights (like a
third brake light) on the transom.

You should be more concerned that you:

-Have the right tow vehicle
-The boat is in the proper position on the trailer and well supported
-You have a spare tire (and hub)
-Existing hubs are full of grease
-You have transom tie downs
-Safety chains are all in place
-Trailer brakes are working properly
-Lights are all working

================================
Yes, I've done that, now looking for other things possibly overlooked.
One thing remaining is to take a run at interstate highway speed (60
to 65) and see if everything handles OK.

Lighting question: the trailer lights are relatively low to the
ground and tucked under the stern and swim platform. Do you think a
second set of temporary lights on the back of the swim platform would
be legal and/or a good idea?
