Underdog 1,593 Posted July 3, 2020 Can you transport a 16' kayak on an 8' trailer with a 3 foot tongue for a short distance on local roads with about a 5 and 1/2 foot overhang? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted July 3, 2020 Can't see why not. Hang a flag on the end of the kayak. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyB 4,289 Posted July 3, 2020 I would say yes, with a flag tied to the rear end of the kayak! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,365 Posted July 3, 2020 IIRC, Title 39 (MV Statutes) say if the overhang is more than 3 feet you need a flag. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRIZ 3,365 Posted July 3, 2020 Red flag on the end of the kayak should cover you. I see guys who routinely have stuff hanging out more than 5 1/2 ft (contractors, plumbers, etc) hang that red flag out. They would know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeSC 1,204 Posted July 3, 2020 Is that an african or european trailer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's usuly a roll of red plastic sheets near the exit of home depot just for this purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
