I'll be installing two plastic posts on my trailer. This way it'll be
easier to back up and I'll be able to line up the boat to the underwater
trailer much easier.

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

=================================
I had the same problem and I couldn't lower the tail-gate because I have
a hard tonneau cover. I made up a pair of 3 ft. long pole with a red
flag on each. Then rigged a clamp to hold them on the rear of the
trailer. I leave them on when I'm pulling the trailer without the boat
on it so that other drivers can see the trailer in traffic.
