Rear View Mirror Options


Smitty4UK

Recommended Posts

I would love to have a Rearview Mirror come down from the tower. The factory mirror on my 2017 25 LSV just clips onto the windshield but on either side it seems to be more in the way than helpful. Looking to get it up a little higher like in a car. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Every option I have seen has been very pricey and unclear as if it will fit the G3.5 tower.

Added my specific tower.

I had a mirror setup similar to Ronnie, I hated it.  It was always in the way, the mirror would move around with every bump.  Switched to the Cipa windshield mount and I couldn't be happier.

I had the same experience when I first got the boat with the tower mirror. I put loctite on the tower/clamp mounting screws and didn't have the problem anymore. I do remove the bracket and mirror if I tow, which we rarely do.

I was considering buying a tower mirror and finding someone to make a g4 clamp Mount. Seems like it would be pretty easy if someone had a CNC Mill to cut a top/bottom profile of the G4 and add clamping bolts on each end and a part to mount the old tower mirror to..

All I am gonna suggest is anything by PTM Edge.  Best customer service ever!  Ours came with our used boat & they replaced the broken part no questions asked.  When that one came & the same flaw presented itself we worked with I believe it was the owner & made video of what it was doing & where it locked up.  He had his engineers fix the flaw & sent us the new type free.

Call the guys at Hagadone Marine in Couer d'Alene, ID. We had a local shop fab these up last summer. They should be able to help you get one.

BTW, because of the honeycomb construction in the top of that tower, it was anything but easy.

Did they clamp around top and bottom or bolt into tower?

Pull the plate on the bottom side of the top of the tower, bracket installs inside, then modify the plate & reinstall.
