Adjusts easily. Stays secure in rough water. Very stable no shake or vibrations and excellent range of view. Big enough to clearly see the skier and any boats behind you but not so big it gets in the way when mounted on the walk through. Cipa 2000 Comp Universal Boat Mirror

If you try to tighten the nuts the washers sink down into the board therefore not serving their purpose. I had to go to the hardware store to get bigger washers to fit. May be just mine but just thought you should know before you take it out. You may have to get bigger washers....I got a set of regular washers. Overall it serves its purpose and with $0.30 worth of washers it works fine. Just one flaw.

I wish I had purchased a copy of this book six years ago when I bought my boat. I might have saved hundreds and maybe even thousands of dollars in yard bills by doing more of the work myself with the help of this book. I have the 2nd Edition published in 1995. I think it is well organized, well written, and I find the illustrations to be clear. A friend of mine purchased the 3rd Edition, which has updated information, particularly on electronics. However I am extremely satisfied with the 2nd Edition for my needs. A Must Have for Owners of Auxiliary Sailboats
