Just saw on the news this morning they are finally trying to pass a bill that will let you use a mirror instead of a spotter. What do you guys recommend for a mirror?
 
If you have a tower I highly recommend a tower mount. My windshield mount obstructs my view forward and I do not like it.
 
Not sure which one I got what ever Will from @JetBoatPilot recommend when I bought his ⛵. But for sure one that clamps not suction cups. I don't put it on unless someone is on the tube. I put it on top of windshield so it's in the way of the boat cover.
 
What tower did you end up putting on your 190 when you had it?
I installed one of those Origin towers which are inexpensive and pretty solid, if everything sits well. I have done two of those before, so I kind of knew what I was getting into. It can be a bit tricky to set up - most important issue being to tighten the top bar very well, last. A bimini fitting in those requires some... serious patience, lol. Overall - great towers for the money.

Any thoughts on this one?

Alright looking at installing the mirror I noticed they sent me another rubber insert but only one shouldn't there be two? Which inserts did you end up using on your 190? The one I'm thinking I want to use is the thicker flatter one but I only have one. Also the frame of the window is smaller than the opening for the mount how did you address this?

In my 190 I had the mirror mounted on the tower leg, so - if you got it along with the tower they will know the exact dimensions/tower leg diameter. It can be confusing as they often use the inside tube diameter.

Oh I thought you had it mounted on your window.
