Rear View Mirror - Maxum Boat Owners Club

I have a Maxum 1900, having trouble finding a rear-view mirror to fit. Most the clamps don't stay on well since the windshield framing is rounded on the Maxum. Has anyone had any success in this area ? Thanks.

This claims it will fit rounded frames.

CIPA® Comp Universal
The superior rear view of the CIPA COMP is now available for any boat with a windshield frame. New universal quick-mount, anti-scratch windshield frame bracket (patented) will mount above or below rectangular or round top windshield frames from 3/8" to 1-1/4" thick. Head ball and socket tension adjustment knob will keep this mirror exactly where you position it every time. Black. 7"x14".

And you could use the suction cup type.

Thanks for the info and the pics. I'll check that one out.

I can backup that the Cipa Comp fits - I sell them and have never had any issues with customers with rounded frames. THey come with a few inserts and a foam pad so have a bit of adjustment.

If you have a tower you'll be best to get a tower mounted mirror as they work much better

I have the 1900 SR3 and tried the screw type mirror but my frame is around 1-1/4" so I had to take the rubber out of it and it scratched the frame so I went to the suction cup type and it works very well.

Have fun and good luck

Yikes! Thats something to look out for. Was it an official CIPA product?

I checked and it wasn't an offical CIPA products it was some other mfg. I like the suction cup type but would like something higher on top of the frame so I'll have to look into the CIPA that will go to 1-1/4".

Thanks
