Gear: Side Mirror – An Idea to Reflect On
Apr 12, 2023
Most boats don’t come equipped with a mirror. With the new Side Mirror Mount from SeaSucker, virtually any boat can have this important piece of safety gear without permanent installation. It’s perfect for helmsmen keeping an eye on skiers, tubers and wake surfers—and the occasional rowdy party guests.
Made in the USA, the Side Mirror Mount uses SeaSucker’s innovative Vacuum Mount technology. Unlike an industrial suction cup that loses holding power soon after it’s applied, the 4.5″ mount holds up to 120 lbs. when installed on a clean, non-porous surface such as glass, acrylic or fiberglass—often for days.
The Side Mirror Mount is engineered to withstand constant jarring from running in chop without affecting the set angle of the 7.5″ L x 5.75″ W mirror. The device can be installed wherever it provides the clearest view for the helmsman, at nearly any mounting angle—something permanent solutions cannot do. And when it’s no longer needed, it removes without leaving a trace.
The SeaSucker Side Mirror Mount is made of rugged UV-stabilized materials with stainless steel hardware. It costs $75 or $135 for two.
