Overview

The Attwood Marine 13055-4 is a ski mirror with a universal mount for dash or windshield installation, built around a shatterproof 180° convex mirror that widens the driver’s rear view. Its compact 7 in. x 3-1/4 in. size gives you a useful sightline aft without taking over the helm area.

This mirror adjusts up and down as well as side to side, then locks in place once you have the viewing angle set. The body is chrome-plated Zamak, and the windshield mount fits frames up to 1 in. thick.

For boats used for skiing, wakeboarding, or general towing, this is a straightforward visibility upgrade at the helm. It does not need wiring, network setup, or power, so fitment comes down to having a suitable dash surface or windshield frame near the driver’s position.

Key features

• 180° convex mirror face opens up the rearward view and helps cut blind spots behind the boat.
• Universal mount can be installed on a dash or on a windshield frame.
• Fits windshield frames up to 1 in. thick.
• Full vertical and side-to-side adjustment lets the driver set the mirror to the helm position.
• Shatterproof mirror construction suits normal on-board handling and use.
• Compact 7 in. x 3-1/4 in. footprint is easier to place on smaller helms.
• Chrome-plated Zamak body keeps the mirror light and simple to mount.

Installation and fit

This mirror works best on ski boats, bowriders, runabouts, and similar layouts where the driver has either a windshield frame or a flat dash area close to the natural line of sight. Before ordering, check that your windshield frame is no more than 1 in. thick or that your dash has enough room for the base and mirror movement.

Because the mirror is manually adjustable, it is easy to fine-tune after installation for different drivers or seating positions. That matters on boats where the helm seat height or driver posture changes through the day.

Use on board

This is a practical fit for crews who tow skiers or riders and want a clearer aft view from the helm without moving to a larger mirror setup. It also works well on family boats where the driver wants a quick visual check behind the boat while staying forward at the controls.
