    You can beef up the plastic mount and this will fix your problem

        I put the BOSS arm on my 206 and it works great. I have seen the 05 Nautique arm and it's built extremly well. My boat was used in a tournament last week cause the promo boat perfect pass went down. Skiers loved it, had a lake record set. Mens 4 I think 1 @41 off.

          I'd be willing to be my boat "pink slip" versus yours that your tower DOES flex. Whattya think? ****, I'll toss my truck "slip" in there, too! :wink:

          Kidding aside, movement on a FCT might be negligible enough that the arm dealio works well. Now the Zero Flexes, I'd swear those were made out of graphite or plastic as much as they seem to sway!!

            Flex? Hmm - noticably, absolutely not: measurably, probably one can determine flexing.... but the point of discussion was that the tower flexes too much for a tower mounted mirror to not work well. As we both said, some towers sway noticably, maybe even too much for a tower mounted mirror........Mine doesn't - works great (I can't imagine I am the only one - if so, I am glad to be so lucky).

            I was surprised how much movement was in the new smaller diameter MC towers - tall and small ones. I haven't been in an MC with the larger diameter ones, so I can't BET the pink slip on that. BTW - congrats on having the pink slip - the boats on this forum are so spendy that many don't have their pink slips yet......!

              I agree with your solution, the beefed up hardware will hold up the mirror.

              The reason my mirror flops is due to the tightening and loosening of the mirror when I put the cover on the boat.

              By putting the mirror on the tower bracket I can keep the mirror tight when I put the cover on the boat.

                Just purchased and installed a MasterCraft Tower Mount. It is really nice and very stable. Very easy to install (thinks to all the help from another thread). It's simple design makes it very sweet....

                Just my 2 cents worth.

                  I was at WLM in White Lake yesterday and they have the new tower mount by CC. It looks good, 198.00, I am going to ask Santa to get me one.

                    Tower Mirrors

                    There just doesn't seem to be a good place for my Windshield Mirror.

                    Does anyone have the scoop on tower mirrors? Are these a CC product that we order through our dealers or do we purchase them elsewhere? If there are models, which ones are the best and why? What is the going price?

                      This is what i saw on Nautiques at boat show. They wanted $225 each but a friend got one from them for $175 at the boat show.

                        Tower Mirriors are stupid, Why would any one mount a mirrior up there,
                        LOL.


                        Hey I have the Boss (the orignal invetner of the tower mirrior mount) and I love them. I have seen a few that are nice but to be honest of all the Imposters IMO the Master Craft is Tower mirrior mount is the best no boss mount, that is if you can stand putting Master Craft parts on your Nautique , LOL J/K I think the MC mout is a good price also I dont know what the tower sizing is going to be though

                            Hey Grant,

                            Nice screens! Are you feeding an image from a camera? If so, where is it mounted?

                            All of the wires are very well hidden.

                                Hey Grant,

                                Are those the Domed Numbers in the Nautique font? Do you like them?
