And that's a great idea. Lots of folks use those on the CDs, but the older CD25 has no windows in the aft cabin bulkhead, and the small one in the door is off center to starboard. Really difficult to watch the fishing poles while trolling. The camera sees four out of six pole holders, and I figure if there are enough people on board to use all six of them then surely someone else can drive so I can watch the poles proper like.
For a couple of seasons I used some removable side view mirrors. Those worked great, but I looked like a dork. Now with this video camera up there I look like a nerd. Not saying nerds are better - just different.

I have had a rear-view camera for the past several seasons...(I haven't read the string of posts in this topic; I was just jumping up C-BRATS for a short while and thought I'd add my two-cents worth)!!
I spend most of the time on by 22' Cruiser doing patrols for the Coast Guard (with the USCG Auxiliary) and my blindest spot was straight behind! So it seemed as if a rear-view camera (like motorhomes use) would make a lot of sense . . . it does!! (A plus is that the microphone on the camera, which sits right above the cabin door and gives a good view of both port and starboard from the stern, lets me in on some of the conversation in the cockpit.
(Again, without reading the other posts, I made sure to get a wide enough angle camera so that the view is sufficient to see what I want to see astern.)
