Boaties Mate Towing Flag - Safety Compliant with Light

The Boaties Mate Towing Flag with Light Included is a purpose-built solution for compliant, safer trailering in New Zealand. When your load extends beyond the trailer by 1 metre or more, this over-length flag provides clear, widely understood signaling that keeps your operation within NZ regulations and protects your crew on the road and on the water.

Why this towing flag stands out

• Integrated light for all-conditions visibility: The built-in light ensures your extended load is noticeable at dawn, dusk, or overcast days, so you stay visible to other motorists and boaters alike.
• Fast, tool-free installation: The flag slips over your outboard propeller for a quick, secure fit without fiddling with straps or tools, saving time at ramp entries and while on the move.
• Secure, reliable fastening: A built-in drawstring grips the motor housing, keeping the flag firmly in place through bumpy roads and choppy water.
• NZ regulatory compliance: Specifically designed to be used when loads extend 1 metre or more from the trailer, helping you meet legal obligations and reduce the risk of fines.
• Clear signaling, broad recognition: The bright, unmistakable signal is easily understood by other boaters and road users, lowering the chances of surprises in busy harbors, marinas, and on the highway.

Who this is for

Ideal for New Zealand boat owners and trailer enthusiasts who regularly transport long or bulky gear—think kayaks, jet skis, or mast sections. If your load frequently projects past the trailer length, this dedicated towing flag offers dependable installation and consistent visibility.

Practical use cases

• Highway or coastal travel when your trailer load extends 1 metre or more beyond the trailer length
• Night-time or low-visibility trips where added light helps others notice your extended load
• Busy marinas, ramps, and storage areas where quick deployment and easy stowage keep plans on track
