Hi everyone, new to this Club. Bought a 2004 390da last fall. It’s already had a lot of upgrades. 1st season ahead for me. Thinking about adding a cockpit TV. Anyone have location advice? Port side above sink on arch or starboard behind captains chair in corner?

Nice boat! I bought my 340 and your local Skipper Buds. Beautiful area.

I'm not entirely familiar with your cockpit layout but I'm going to assume running cables/power will be easier on the starboard side.

I'd personally want to mount a cockpit TV where it would be most viewable (seating). In my setup that would be a port mount, on the arch above the sink-ish.

Good luck this year!
 
I’ve seen several boats with it mounted on a swivel on the port side above the sink so it’s viewable from the cockpit seating or the helm.
 
The base is mounted where a drink holder that I removed used to be. The SS parts are from SR. This TV is removed when underway, but the location in the cockpit is ideal for viewing.

We got rid of the stand behind the sink/faucet and located up on the wall using a swivel mount. Way better visibility and out of the way. Not to mention a larger tv. I will say, the mount was more than the TV ($300 or so for the mount).

I ran all the cable and electric to a cable outlet plate and the electric in a plastic flush mount receptacle. All behind the TV, I also have a underwater camera plugged into the auxiliary of the tv. When my underwater lights are on the tv looks like a fish tank! To cool!

I did an install on the port side arch above the "bar" area of my '01 a few years ago. Mounted a 24" led tv on a swivel mount. I did a post of the install with pictures. Was really easy to do...just scary cutting the hole in the arch. Still love the location.

That’s pretty cool. Thanks
 
Thanks, while I was installing tv I found the coax cable was already there from the factory, I just extended it. The electric was also very close, I used a GFI the factory had installed in a cabinet. Good luck with your installation,

I installed a 28" on the port side arch above the bar area with a swivel mount...Everyone's happy!!

 
Couple of mine that I did on the inside of the arch.
