Hey Guys,
Thought I'd show you some pics of my TV install in the 248. Well after I finally found the "radbud" o-ring I needed for the anchor locker I picked up this little tv on ebay for 200 bucks shipped. I simply emulated the plywood behind the stock mirror using the oem hanger clips. I've hit some pretty good waves and it's holding fine. I transfered over the slots that the mirror used and bolted the plywood up to the tv directly. With a little luck it came out absolutely perfect!
The Alpine head unit plays DVD's so the sound plays right through the boat's speakers, I didn't even bother with the TV's speakers. I just ran a video RCA to the TV. I actually ran the plug back to an extension cord and used an inverter on top of the cabinet so it can be watched on battery power.
Here's a pic of my sirius stiletto and the Alpine DVD head unit.
Thanks to all for sending pics of your setups earlier in the season when we had the tv discussion.
There certainly is no shortage of things we can do! I have even contemplated making cabinetry for on top of the gunnel trays in the cabin, it would be nice to have more enclosed storage space.
