The present invention discloses an apparatus for positioning a boat onto a boat trailer comprising two magnetic reed switches attached inside the bilge of the boat along the central, longitudinal axis of the boat; an indicator box mounted in the boat and electrically connected to the magnetic reed switches for providing a signal when the boat is properly positioned onto the boat trailer; and two permanent magnets attached to the boat trailer along the longitudinal, central axis of the boat trailer. When the boat is moved onto the boat trailer such that the permanent magnets attached to the boat trailer are adjacent the magnetic reed switches inside the boat, the magnetic reed switches close, thereby causing the indicator box to signal that the boat is properly positioned onto the boat trailer.
