    Great safety tip.

    get yourself a little mirror somewhere on your console, kinda like a ski mirror but something smaller, so you can see behind you when you drive, it also helps to keep an eye on backwash if you have such a problem.

    I have one of those little flexable shaft bicycle mirrows. I vibrates so bad I cant see anything out of it anyway.

    I have a great safety tip too. When traveling 65 mph, watch the water in front of you instead of operating a camera! As for needing a mirror at 65, I don't think someone will rear-end you at that speed either

    Sorry, my smart a$$ couldn't resist.

    Re: Great safety tip. (iwillkechu)

    It was quite the act too...holding my camera phone, driving(try to stay on pad), trimming, and getting a good picture out of it.

    Maybe I could submit as a tip : "How to drive and take pics of yourself at the same time"

    As you can see though, at 65 the mirror was pretty still. It's also helped me a few times to spot a boat coming up behind me when I wanted to turn around.

    Where abouts did you find that little mirror Bj? Looks like a perfect size for bassboats!

    I think it was at Walmart in the baby section. It came with a suction cup and 2 way tape for mounting either way. It's for keeping an eye on your child in the backseat.
