I use a mirror so that I can see what's going on. I don't intend to imply
that my using the mirror replaces having a spotter. It doesn't. A spotter is
another person who is responsible for watching the person in the water.

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.


I know my local regs require a spotter; I don't know if a rearview mirror
is an acceptable alternative. I'll have to dig into that.
