    Tower Mirror

    When I bought my boat the standard mirror was cracked, so I've been looking to replace it with a tower mirror. Does anyone have any suggestions? Most I saw were over $200. I've seen some cheaper on ebay, but not sure if they're any good. It'd be nice to get a black arm, but I haven't seen many. Thanks in advance.

    I bought one off ebay a few years ago and it sucked! It didn't fit the tower correctly and the seller wouldn't take it back.

      We have the Roswell tower arm that comes on the newer Nautiques. I was able to purchase it from someone on here at a reasonable price, then I had it powdercoated in black to match the tower. I think it's about the best tower arm out there and it looks great!

        Agree with MHayes on the Roswell Tower Arm. It's top quality. Purchased mine from White Lake Marine with the discount.

              The mirror is as adjustable as you need it to be....we've never had any issues. If you are concerned about that, you can always opt for the new Roswell pivot mount, which also appears to be very nice. Not sure of the price though.

                The cheapest I have found the Roswell mount is $275. Grant_West has this one and it looks nice: http://shop.monstertower.com/p-96-ca...cket-only.aspx
                My fiancee thinks that the carbon wouldn't match up with the black tower.

                What did it cost to get the Roswell powdercoated?

                  Honestly I don't remember the ebay seller. They said they made the arms themselves. Piece of ****!

                    If I recall correctly, the powdercoating $30-40....and given that I only paid a little over $100 for the arm, it worked out great. I got the arm powdercoated in a semi-gloss and it matched the tower very nicely!

                      I wish I could find one for under $150.

                          I wish I could find the older one like this. The new style one is $275.

                            I just called Whitelake. They can only get the old one from CC and it's $421.98.

                              Give Cobalt Boats of Atlanta a call, they are my local Nautique dealer. About a year ago when I was looking for the Roswell arm, they had one or two extras in their parts area that they were willing to give me for less than $200....it seems like it was in the $185 range, but they may be willing to come off of that if they still have them. It's worth a call.
