OK, agree that lowering tailgate (assuming you have that type of rear access
on the burban) installing the white boat guides at the rear trailer corners
and raising the trailer tail lights are all good things. But, have you
considered trailering mirrors? They are very helpful to me as I can adjust
the mirrors to the point where I can see the triler tires at all times.
I've learned that dunking the tires to about the halfway mark on the fenders
is about perfect for launching or power loading.

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?

No, but I'm curious.

I have a 25 foot trailer that I can't see when I down the ramp to
recover my Ranger. I put the tailgate down.

Is there a reason you can't do that?

Later,
