 Does that TV work on 12VDC or is it 120VAC only?

Its a 12v TV.  I just have to buy the adapter.

@JonnyM I see some hockey stats on the TV which is why I was asking.  Curious what you use to get cable or local games.

I just have air channels now but I may hook up a Roku to it and use the Wi-Fi at our boat club.

I did something similar last year... Put a 24" LED TV/DVD combo, but I mounted it on an swivel arm. Can be tucked inside the cabinets or traveling and viewed from aft cabinet too. 

My best guess is it's like this one.. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Heavy-Duty-Articulating-12-inch-39-inch/dp/B01KBEOGZ4/ref=sr_1_29?dchild=1&keywords=small+tv+mount&qid=1603651626&sr=8-29

Any tips on how you got it mounted to the wall?

That's the exact mount I have my boat TV on.

that's great!! I'm going to steal that idea for next season.

JohnnyM can you just plug that 12 volt tv into the cigarette lighter type outlet?  What are you using for an antenna?

How did you mount these tv's...?? What bolts, etc... We've got some big waves here.. what precautions for when underway??

Aqua_Aura

Mine has thru bolts I think #10 and it's is mounted to the cabinet door like factory. I don't have a picture of it.

@diggin2day1 - did you drill through into the bathroom??

J3ff

Well tv is in, but not ready to drill through the wall that goes into the bathroom without seeing how you guys have done it

Toggle bolts

I used wood screws with a bolt head just deep enough not to hit the wall in the bathroom. That was 6 years ago and as far as I know it still holding up stong. The guy at my dock sold my old 270 last year.

Yes I did... can’t remember exact size of nuts/bolts I used though. 2 of the bolts landed just behind the mirror. I capped them with some matching white screw caps.
