Affordable trick for PA launching ease... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

New member here. I bought a PA 17t and love it, but man is my trailer low! I need to do the "Open the door and hang your head out as low as you can to see it" move. I found the perfect solution to backing this trailer. Most likely this is old news to a lot of folks, but I tell you it is saving me a lot of backache!

Slapping these neon yellow markers on the bumpers and raising to preferred height before backing has made a world of difference, Straight in first time. Just line up and go.

Hopefuly this helps other anglers that have had the same issue. They fold up to about 10" when not in use so super easy to stow.

Thanks for the tip. I have a Malone Trailer and you lose it backing down the ramp.
