Do I want a rearview mirror for my boat?
It seems like a good idea to see the folks I'm towing while I'm watching
traffic in front, but I don't see any boats with rearview mirrors.
What's the scoop on this?

Thanks

It's just one more thing to get in the way of fishing poles and ropes, or
to get broken when the boat's rocking and you think it's solid enough to
grab onto. When towing people behind the boat, you really should have
another person in the boat with you.


I do have a spotter on the boat; it's the law here. I was thinking it would
be easier to keep an eye on the kids when they are being dragged behind the
boat on the tube (not the skis or wakeboard) so that I know how my steering
is effecting their activity. It seems reasonable, but the absence of
mirrors made me wonder; maybe everyone who tried one quit after breaking it
as you suggest.
