Aft cabin tv replacement

Postby Carverlvr2 » December 1st, 2024, 8:37 pm

Thanks to this forum, I finally mustered the courage and energy to tackle the aft cabin tv replacement. The OE (old) Panasonic 13” just wasn’t going to cut it. I read horror stories of 30+ nearly inaccessible screws, an unreachable nylon strap, and/or a ton of double stick tape. I’m very pleased to report that on my 2004 366, I was able to:
-pull the trim off with some carefully for efull tugs at each corner where the finish nails were shot in at the factory and covered,
-remove the two long-a$$ screws just in front of the tv and the one short one from the underside easily accessed from the hanging closet below.
-pulled the tv and mounted board out, cleaned 20yrs of dust, and tacked the trim back on.
Next I’ll mount the new bracket and 26” black Friday deals and post back with completed pix but the hardest part is done!!
Next up, new chartplotter and in-hull transducer.
