how exactly did you hang the TV bracket/mount?
Nice distribution block there

Good call on tapping your windlass power. Where does the Coax run to?

Nice job on the upgrades. Love the TV.

I have bought all the componets to go solid state with breakers on my little canoe. Has anyone had experience in converting from fuses to breakers? I will keep the fuse holders in the original switch panel just to keep it old school looking and install the printed curcuit board behind the cockpit dash.

May do a guage package update inspired by the recent posts here on CSR. I have taken pictures of the back of my guage panel so I have the wiring photo documented. I'm open for any ideas to make the job easier.

Thanks.

I had great access through the door next to the AC panel, I was able to run everything through.
For the TV bracket I used 2" bolts (4) and nuts.
Distribution block is from Sea Systems, sold everywhere.

The coax runs directly from the Shakespear Sea Watch 2025 control box, the white box. It also has a hook-up for an outside cable, if available at the marina.
