That looks awesome! Does the drawer somehow lock into place when it's parked?

Yes. I used the same latch that was used for the tv.

I think it's a better use of space than SR did with the little tube TV in that spot, TV above the aft cabin on the bulkhead is way better IMO, excellent mod!!!! I would copy that if my galley was like yours!!!

What did you do with the old wiring for the TV? Cap it and coil it away behind? Also, did you add material to create a back wall of the opening? Last time I slid the TV out thought there was no backer and you could see the inside of the hull. Going from memory so could be wrong. The TV below days are numbered. Probably cutting edge tech in 2004 but compared to today's LCDs worthless.

My buddy works in a metal shop. We measured and then he made it.

Simply awesome! Considering doing something quite similar, and have already ditched the tv.

Removed the TV yesterday. Took the bottom self home to begin figuring out how to build a bottle holder system. For those who have removed the TV, what did you do with the two electronic boxes that I believe drive the TV? See attached pic. Would like to remove so the opening looks cleaner. Will add some material in the back of the opening so it is solid but removable for future access. Guess I will just coil the wiring away behind and zip-tie.

Another option. We are not really liquor drinkers, so we went with a wine rack with glass storage

Decided to use the space instead for the ice-maker. Nice having the counter space back. Using the original locking slider the base is very solid. Also it was great there was a 110 outlet behind the old TV.
