Re: WHEN TRAILERING WHAT ARE YOU USING TO MARK TAIL SHAFT One of my buddies got pulled over here in TX. The trooper told him he had to have a light on it. He just got one of those lil red led's that bike riders use. Only LT I ever had, the tail swung into the boat so I never had to worry bout it.

Re: WHEN TRAILERING WHAT ARE YOU USING TO MARK TAIL SHAFT I have the orange flag from Go-Devil that is used for that exact purpose. Came with the motor when I bought it from the original owner.

Re: WHEN TRAILERING WHAT ARE YOU USING TO MARK TAIL SHAFT It does not matter what you flag it with when you come to a sudden stop you are always looking backwards at that mofo about to put a prop through their windshield

Re: WHEN TRAILERING WHAT ARE YOU USING TO MARK TAIL SHAFT DOT regs for Louisiana are that anything 4 ft past the end of the trailer should be marked. In my opinion, a red brake light is probably the best set up, but a red flag will suffice. I would be careful, any overly aggressive law official could give you alot of grief about the tail. I swivel mine to the inside of the boat.

Re: WHEN TRAILERING WHAT ARE YOU USING TO MARK TAIL SHAFT I got a piece of reflective tape on each prop blade and run some orange marking tape through the hole on the cav plate.
