Tried flipping it a few ways, and moving it back and forth, honestly made myself more frustrated with it, lol….
If I could have amazon droned in a new one to me on th lake at any cost yesterday I would have, today, my ‘frugal’ brain took over, and maybe ill find one on an off season sale…. The move to port surely helped2022 Makai

I had that exact mirror mounted on my Makai like you have shown in that picture, only I had it slid over closer to the middle to where it just barely touched the flipped over window when open. By the way my boat colors are almost exactly what you have. That picture could easily be one I took. Except for the fact we don't have any mountains! LOL!

Nice!
The further I slide it to the middle, the lack of adjustability on the mirror itself comes into play and I lose any view of the rear….
The mountains up here are nice for sure, if you can get used to the water being a little cooler!
This is up on Arrow Lake, and its been glass lately!

No. But the ball/cup is the same.
Let’s say, even if, $260 solves the problem for the mirror/mount combo. $260, on a $100k boat lol.
I’m probably the most frugal bastard on this forum, I get it. It took me 4 boats to squeeze a nickel out of my ass for a mirror.
The value they add, imo is priceless. It makes your job as captain so much easier, safer. I could list many reasons to buy once cry once. We do it for way less important things on these boats.

I am thrifty as well, that's why I spent less that $100 on the Cipa 180 and taller mount and sold the factory PTM gear for $150, lol. The Cipa 180 is huge, every bit as big as the PTM 140. I am all about safety and rider first when pulling, my setup works great for me, glad yours works great for you.

Was just looking at current prices of these mirrors and mounts for the various brands, wow!! A lot more than I would have ever guessed for some metal or plastic and a piece of glass.

This thread is blowing my mind. Never thought about putting mirror on port side. I’ve just lived w the cipa in the way for 18 years. Can’t wait to try the mirror on the port side this weekend! Can’t believe I never thought about that before.
