I ran cable to it from the salon and the TV also has a DVD slot in the side to watch movies.
It is very solid on my application, however yours would be a bit different. You could mount to the side of your cabinet with brackets and use backing plates. You can access the back through the cabinet beside the fridge/icemaker.

Tireless - That looks like route we will end up going. I’ll head up to the boat to,or row to take a few measurements to work out which mount we go with. Thanks for your input!

There are standard bolt patterns used on TVs depending on their size. Make sure the mount and TV bolt patterns match. You also want to make sure the mount will handle the weight of the TV. Mounts seem to be advertised by the size of the TV they'll handle but some TV's are much heavier than others for the same size. Try to get the TV's and the mount's weight/capacity and compare.
Just a quick tip when using backing plates....if you use aluminium plates , make sure the back of the glass panel/ cabinet is flat and smooth ..... bed the plate with epoxy if not, so that when you tighten to it it doesn't deform/crack the shiny gel you see at the front. The hardened epoxy will spread the load evenly..... Wood will generally allow some inconsistencies that the hard plate will not.
Enjoy the games ( when they start again ) on your deck......
