HDTV Mounted

This is the flush mounted position of the new HDTV. The TV folds back and is flush with the original front of the old space that housed the old TV. Notice the small "book shelf" addition above it where I mounted a set of Bose speakers. The speakers give the TV a bolder sound with deeper base and treble. It almost sounds like surround sound back up in the "V" berth when we are watching a DVD movie.

A view from the "V" berth. The TV is rotated forward. The Bose speakers face directly at you. The one you are looking at is on the port side. There is another one mounted on the other side which is the starboard side of the "V" berth. I used "velcro" under the speakers and on the shelf so they won't fall off during boating and can be picked up, moved and rotated in either direction.
The area to the right of the TV is the old space that housed the old TV. I'm gonna make a cabinet / storage area out of it and I managed to get a Tambour Door that closely matches the other ones you sea. I have to make-shift, cut and fit it to the front in order to cover the cabinet storage space. I'm workin on it!

Rotated back to be viewed from the dinette or galley areas. Noticed the speaker is rotated as well. The smaller Tambour Door that you sea under the TV is what I'm trying to match.

And a view from the back of the TV showing the mounting system bracket. This bracket has a quick way of disconnecting the whole TV up and off the mount so that the TV can be removed during winter lay up and taken inside.
