Power for bulkhead mounted TV on 2007 320DA

[Rick Young]

I am replacing the bulkhead mounted TV on my 2007 320DA. I have the old TV removed and now I find I need to replace the power cord as the end that plugs into the tv is different.

The cord disappears into a small hole in the lower left hand corner of the area where the TV is mounted along with the dvd cable, and antenna coax. I find the coax coming out in the area under the helm but where does the power cord and dvd cable go? I am guessing in behind the power control panel but I am not sure and not certain how to get in there if it does. My new tv power cord is a polarized cord so so one blade is wider than the other. If there is an outlet behind the power panel will it accept the polarized plug?

At the risk of being lazy, I am contemplating cutting off the end of the power cord that went into the old tv and putting on a new polarized female plug end to plug the tv into?

Any guidance or assistance would be appreciated.

On my 310, there is a receptacle in behind power control panel, and I'm sure it accepts the polarized plugs. I couldn't get my power panel off without removing lots of cabinetry, but I could see the receptacle with the radio removed.

It should go back to the outlet junction box behind the upper area behind stereo and power distribution power panel. That is where mine is. Was in there last month installing new stereo and hooking up the Dish TV receiver etc...
