    Abstract: A system and method is provided for assisting with the loading of a boat at a desired parking target, such as boat trailer or dock. In one example, a light source is provided on a boat trailer to illuminate the trailer. A forward facing camera and corresponding monitor are provided on a boat. As the boat approaches the boat trailer, the light source makes the boat trailer more visible, especially in low light conditions. The light source is also visible on the monitor, making it easier for a boat operator to guide the boat to the trailer.
