How do I get this TV out? I do not care if the TV gets broken. But I don’t want to damage the cabinet. I’ve taken a few screws out of the side but the bottom cabinet screw heads are stripped and they aren’t budging. I’m not sure how to get the cabinet apart to get the TV out.

It appears there are two screws visible on the left padded side. Pull the side off and release from behind the TV?
 
I took those screws out and left them visible. With those two screws out that panel doesn’t want to move. I’m afraid of just yanking it apart. I don’t care about the TV. But I do care about the cabinet.

If that is a flat panel TV it might have a flush mount bracket attached. If you can see behind the TV from the bottom the bracket would be in the center. I this is how it is attached there would be a retention screw to remove from the and then the bracket would just slide up and off.

Might look like the bracket I used here: http://www.clubsearay.com/index.php...40-sundancer-bulkhead-wall.88100/#post-994550

This TV seems to be screwed securely to a block of wood.

I can see how to get access now, but there is a stripped screw head blocking access.


Curious if I could get a small reciprocating saw into there to cut the screw, and not damage the fabric.

If anything I would go in between the panels with a reciprocating muli-tool (aka flat dremel) or just a hack saw blade. I removed a panel that was also attached with a screw buried in the foam - it was put in through the foam and vinyl where you would not see it.

This is good info. I pulled the dvd player from the state room and the galley area and installed apple tv's. Also placed my hotspot next to the apple tv in the galley dvd slot. Aft area still needs attention but closing on the sale of my 390 next week. 450 may be in my future.
 
Next question, that I’ll leave here since it’s relevant.

Does searay make one of these that had an hdmi input instead?

I have a solution “in the works” as we speak. I was just hoping that searay already had a piece that would work and look a little more polished.

Got the blanks finished for now. I may add an hdmi and USB ports to the small one later.

My plan is to use a raspberry pi as a boat computer / security camera storage device. Acceding it through a monitor in the aft cabin. I will also be able to connect it to the n2k network and load it with openplotter and an anchor alarm.

Okay I didn’t 100% like the blanks and figured that I could improve this a little.
I removed all three DVD players and replaced them with little storage trays. Much happier with this setup as it gives me a place dedicated ti the TV remotes and a place for me to stick my car keys and wallet.
