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

If you are water-skiing or towing someone, you must have either a spotter
OR
a rearview mirror. Check your local regulations. Common sence says that
you are better off with a spotter, but if it is a weekday, no one on the
lake, just two of you and you want to water-ski - you just may wish you
had
a rearview mirror.

California requires a spotter - no exceptions.
I use a mirror but the mount interferes with the convertible top, so we
have to take it off to put up the top and get some shade. I have wing
mirrors on each side, just like my cars. they're pretty nice, too.

Ah, the first real vote for a mirror. I have a bimini so it won't interfere
with mounting a mirror.
