RECOMMENDATION NEEDED FOR REAR VIEW MIRROR

[RobbieO]

What's everyone using for a rear view mirror? I received a 4'x8" suction cup mirror with my boat. LOL. Totally useless. If I mount it anywhere on the windshield it creates a forward blind spot. I have searched for a replacement but haven't found one for under $200-$300. You guys who have been on the water for awhile, what works best for you? Thanks!

Fantastic Mirror. A bit pricey.

They all are. Nice mirror. Is that what you use? I hate having it directly in front of me. I want to look up to see it, but not on the tower. Thanks

 

[HangOutdoors]

I use it. Works great. When I am towing I can stand and see over it or sit on the flip up bolster and swivel it. I keep mine to the right just past the bend in the window shield. You can see where it is clipped on my front window shield if you zoom in on the pic of my boat.

I'm using a PTM Edge on a custom arm mounted from the tower. It was a challenge finding something that didn't clamp onto the window. Pricey though....

If you are mounting on the windshield frame and do not want it in front of you, put it on the port side frame. Others like @swatski mount it there so it is not in the way. https://jetboaters.net/threads/top-down-rear-view-mirror.18609/#post-321029

We went with the windshield mounted mirror. It folds down out of the way when your pulling the mooring cover on. Sturdy, and doesn't move while under way.

I ended up with the PTM edge 100 Pro....it's a little higher and doesn't obstruct your view when sitting down. Locks in place, and folds down out of the way.

Does that attach to the windshield? Can't really tell from the amazon pictures

I should have paid more attention to your boat type and not made a recommendation. I have a 210 FSH and so I used these

and attached this mirror to the upper structure. This is a large mirror which works great on my boat but probably not at all appropriate for yours.

How did you mount this mirror using these brackets to the T top on FSH 210? It appears the mirror only has one mount attachment on back.

Thanks

I am out of town but will be back this weekend. I will take a picture of what I did and post it.

It does mount to the T top. Using the bracket I mentioned in my post it mounts using the one mount attachment. I am attached a picture of my mount and what the rear view looks like with this mirror.

I got this one and it did not even last for half of last season. We did not even use the boat that much. The mirror cracked and the screws to attach it are super weak. The brackets are solid so I am using them as an expensive flag holder now. looking for another mirror that will actually last.

This is the one I got, the only issue I have had is when I break the 50mph mark the wind pushes it down.
