attwood Perma-Plate 180° Convex Marine Mirror — Shatter-Proof, Adjustable Universal Mount (One Size)

The Attwood 9083-7 Perma-Plate is a shatter-proof, 180-degree convex marine mirror with an adjustable universal mount that eliminates blind spots and improves rearward visibility for towing and docking.

Designed for boats and personal watercraft, this compact mirror combines a wide-angle field of view with durable, lightweight construction to give operators a single, clear perspective of skiers, towables, and nearby traffic. Built from chrome-plated zinc Zamak and featuring a shatter-resistant reflective surface, the 9083-7 resists corrosion and impact while allowing quick installation on dashes or windshields.

How does the 180-degree convex shape help on the water?

The wide convex surface expands your field of view so you can see both the skier and surrounding boats without shifting position. That broader perspective reduces blind spots and makes it faster to assess motion and distance at a glance.

• 180° curvature shows a panoramic rear view in one glance
• Helps monitor skiers, tow ropes, and nearby craft simultaneously
• Convex optics minimize the need to twist or move the helm

Is this mirror durable enough for marine use?

Yes. The 9083-7 features a shatter-proof mirror surface and corrosion-resistant plating designed for salty environments. Its lightweight zinc Zamak housing balances strength with reduced mounting stress on dashes and windshields.

• Shatter-resistant reflective material for safer breakage behavior
• Chrome-plated zinc Zamak body resists corrosion and wear
• Compact, sturdy design suited to marine vibration and spray

Where and how does the universal mount install?

The mirror includes a universal mount that fits most dash and windshield mounting points, allowing straightforward attachment without special tools. Once mounted, the ball-and-socket style pivot lets you aim the mirror up, down, left, or right for precise sightlines.

• Universal mount compatible with dash or windshield surfaces
• Adjustable pivot provides full up/down and side-to-side movement
• Compact footprint saves dash space and keeps lines of sight clear

What size and fit should I expect?

The Attwood 9083-7 is designed as a one-size, universal-fit mirror suitable for most boats and tow configurations. Its compact dimensions make it unobtrusive while the convex face delivers a much larger perceived viewing area than a flat mirror of the same size.

• One size fits most dash and windshield mounts
• Compact mirror face with wide-angle coverage
• Lightweight construction minimizes mount strain and movement

Who is this for: Boaters, tow-boat operators, and water-sport enthusiasts looking for an affordable, heavy-duty mirror that improves safety and convenience on the water. Whether you regularly tow skiers or need better awareness while docking in crowded harbors, the Attwood 9083-7 gives an expanded rear view, simple mounting options, and marine-grade durability without complicated installation.
