The clamp-on boat rearview mirrors we offer like the # CM11080 you'd looked at will all need a minimum windshield thickness of at least 3/8 of an inch in order to attach securely. If your boat windshield is thinner than that, a suction cup mirror like # CM11050 would be a better option, so that's what I'd recommend going with.
