I'm needing some advice on a size of TV to get on the arch of my 318. Any other 318 guys have pics of there TV's?

I put a 22" Led tv on the arch. I was going to do 19, but when I bought the 19 it seemed t small.

I can get a pic this weekend.

I mounted a 22" with built-in DVD player. I used a bracket I bought fronm Radio Shack:
"Level Mount® Small Full Motion LCD Mount up to 32"

It is awesome, can rotate/swing, and also TV quickly pops off so we store below when we are not at boat!

You can fish power and cable connections up through by popping off the stereo speaker. I used a 3/4" piece of oak for backing and thru-bolted the TV bracket.

I will try and learn how to upload picture.

I used a Levelmount like that for our 348. I bought two of them. One hook is out on the arch, the other is down in the forward cabin. This gives me a place to store the TV when it's not on the arch, along with viewing in the berth. I ended up with an extra arm from the second kit. I got a swing out arm kit for the TV and then just a cheap 2-way for the second one. I found 'em cheap off ebay.

Yes Bill, I also put one in rear berth for my kids. Interesting idea you have , maybe they will sell other mount brackets. If not I can make one in my machine shop pretty easy.

Yeah, it wouldn't be too hard to fabricate a new hook if you've got a shop capable of it. I knew I'd end up with one going to waste so I just got the cheapest 2nd one I could find. Can't recall what I paid but I think it was less than $15, shipped!
