mirror: need help finding one that fits my boat

[strokeoluck]

Boat details below. I need help finding a reasonably priced mirror (for skiing/tubing, etc.) to go on our boat. Ideally I'd like to mount it to the top of the window frame near the driver's side of the boat. I purchased one mirror from West Marine ($60!) but their little clamp area wasn't wide enough to fit on the Bayliner window frame. Then I purchased one online from Overton's (only $20!) and the clamp area fit on the frame, but the screws a) rode up a bit on the top of the rounded part of the frame so they didn't hold the mirror well, and b) they scratched the aluminum frame!

There doesn't seem to be much room to mount a mirror on the dash between the GPS, the gauges and the slant of the windshield.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

I have one that suction cup mounts to the windshield. Don't use it any more though as I got a new boat with a tower and a mirror attached to the tower.

Try Bass Pro, or Cabelas

Thanks. Did you trailer your boat? If so, did you have to remove the mirror before you headed out on the road? I seem to have a knack for losing stuff while driving down the road and I was hoping by installing the mirror with screws that I wouldn't have to fiddle with one more thing that needs to be set up before we launch.

I use the suction cup one as well and it works well. I remove it though when we are not skiing or tubing.
