My old SeaBee, which IS a pusher, merely mounted a convex mirror out on the
wingtip float. A glance at the mirror and you could check the prop, the
engine compartment drain ( for streaming oil, etc. ) and most of the
tailfeathers. Most of what you saw was water draining off the airframe
after takeoff! :-)
After landing you could see the water on the windshield and didn't need the
mirror! :-)
