Ha! A7, that look like me when I was 7 years old and jumped off the top of a swingset after watching Mary Poppins!. Except I wish I would have had water to land in.

I think that calls for a youTube vid demo! :mrgreen:
I agree. Get your grove on
Sorry no sound. I can't record and set the lights to music at the same time. But the lights are going the the music you can't hear. So you'll have to play your own music.

Finally got to test out my latest upgrade.

Flush Deck Socket Mount for my BBQ grill.

Burgers on the grill tasted real good last night!

I like it. I don't sit down and drive that often when I'm driving with the kids doing water sports. So a mirror might get in my way. Something to get used to I guess

Driller does it hold up in rough water? I’ve tried these types of mounts before and ended up just scratching my frame. If this one holds up, let us know for I know I’d be interested in getting one. 😁

I've run through some rough water over the weekend and there was no problem with the mount or mirror, both rock solid. The mount comes with additional rubber skims so you can build up the mount in the areas that need it.

In addition I drive standing up at night and the mirror does not get in the way. I can easily see over the top.

Made a world of difference pulling tubes, the view is so wide that you can see the tube almost all the way to the outside of the swing.

Not cheap, but it is quality made kit with a super clear view. I'm very happy with the quality, durability, and mount which folds down to install your boat cover.

So $200 for the mirror $250 for the mount and $59 for the cover so it is a $500 setup all on? Just asking to make sure I understand. I would think for that much the mirror would show more Thanh just a reflection. Lol 😂

I'm wondering if a rear view camera would work for this. Get a color one with say 120 degree angle and mount a nice colr display.🤔

I said it wasn't cheap. I had a cheap mirror and it was a pain. It only cost 80% more to go first class.
