TV installation in 3100 open
#1
Just finished my first project in my 89 3100 open - mounted a 19" 12V tv/dvd combo.  Decided to use an articulating wall mount rated for a 42" plasma just to make sure there wouldn't be any issues whatsoever with dynamic loads.  I installed it on the galley bulkhead so that depending on how you swing it, its viewable from the v-berth, dinette, or both.  

I wanted to power the tv by 12V so I had to install a new 12V outlet in the galley.  This part didn't go so well. Decided on a 12V socket/dual usb combo for extra utility, that I installed just above the existing 110V GFI.  Anyone thinking of copying this setup beware - do not mount the outlet where I did.  There's probably room to mount a single outlet, but the double was too big, and I ended up having to route out portions of the strips that join the cabinet panels.  Lots of work and I still didn't have room to screw on the gaskets that secure the sockets to the trim plate.

That looks great what brand and model mount is that it looks beefy.

Don't remember exactly but very similar to this one, which is a heck of a deal: [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

you just need to check compatibility of the VESA mounting hole pattern with your TV
