I started a thread on this subject over on Ultimate Bass and wanted to share it hear. If BassCat could resource a fold-out side-view mirror thats custom made for their windshields or console I bet there would be interest.

I know they have the little mirrors on the Jag, but it would be a neat feature, maybe in a Lamborghini styling? Of course, other brands would need to copy Bass Cat on that one, but they would need to put “Objects in mirror are closer than they appear”… especially when they see the BC lightning bolt on the side, lol!96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

Good idea Fly.JEH, I think BassCat is Waaaaaaay Ahead of the curve when they introduced it on the 2010 Jaguar. However, an add-on for the rest of us using JignPigs description thats foldable would be real cool. Fold it in if you want one inside the boat and flip it open when you take off. However, starboard side would be more useful.

We have looked for years for the right one and at all the various trade shows. Short of having one built we simply have not found a suitable piece that will work for all applications.

The little round mirrors will probably be removed and another rectangle slanted mirror may be installed on the top left hand side of the dash.I find that the location of the mirrors is best at the top of the dash so I dont have to look down to see what is behind me.The best way to mount these mirrors has been a flexible rubber type adhesive, I use a product called “goop, marine” which holds well and if needed comes off very clean.Last edited by Dwayne on May 31st, 2013, 11:04 am, edited 1 time in total.Practice Angling CPRCatchPictureRelease2010 PIV 200SHO

You might want to check out some of the bolt on mirrors for snowmobiles. They handle wind and vibrations at 100+ MPH, and some of them fold back.
