Tower Mount Mirror Arm

[Coach]

If you have a Tower Mount Mirror Arm which one do you have and do you like it? I need to pick one up. I saw this on e-bay and it looks good for the price.

E-Bay Mirror Arm

I have the Samson. Works great and is solid. http://www.samsonsports.com/

I have the same one as Jim. Most of the boats from Vegas have that one. I am very pleased with it, but it cost double what the one from ebay does. I have some tower clamps I bought from those same guys and they seem to do good work. I think the look is pretty nice too.

I've got the Tige tower so I guess mine is Tige. It is somewhat in the way of my foreward view (moving to other side to see if that is better) but the mirror has good visibility.

Coach,
I got the fusion arm from Xplosion Towers. BTW, I am coming down tomorrow and will call you when in town.

I have the one you are looking into on Ebay. It's a nice bracket. I figured for 25-30% of the price of a name brand arm, I could just give it away if I wasn't happy with it. So far so good.

You'll need some sort of bushing to go between the main mounting bracket and the tower. I just used a little strip of rubber about 1/16th of an inch thick x 1/2 inch wide. I had it left over from when I put up my tower speakers.

Dang! I gave you too much and did not charge you.

Cool, My boat is at Adlee's. I plan on keeping it there until Tue went TWS picks it up to get some things fixed.

Good to know Lucky. I figured it was still cheaper than most but I didn't want it falling apart wishing I had spent my money on something else first.

Coach--I have the same one from Boss that you are looking at. It works like a champ, I used a peelable (if that's a word) aluminum shim that I got from work. The shim I used comes measured at 0.025 and then you can peel off what you need at 0.001 incriments.

Looks great. I hope I enjoy the one that comes standard on Tige's. It should be great just not to have the one mounted on the window that flips open.

[Razzman]

I was thinking the same thing. And while my boat is closed bow, it's nice to flip open the window at slow speeds on a hot day to let some airflow in.

Coach,

DId you get it? Do you like it? I know my friend has one on his 24v, and it gets in my way of looking forward, but I think it could be moved up a bit to take care of that. It does offer a great view of the rear though! His is a tige mirror though.

I am going to order one. I have driven many different boats with the mirror and I have never had and issue with visiblity. There are enough other things in my view (tower, windshield). If I need to see something ahead I will just flip the mirror flat.

[Razzman]

That's the only reason i haven't done it yet is the view. I have the blasted tower smack dab in my view to the right so i have a tendency to look over the windshield
