Larry, I removed the basic mount that came with the TV and found this mount which was made to be used as an under shelf mount. I cut out a piece of poplar to match the shape of the mount and glued it to the TV with Gorilla glue so that the screws did not penetrate the TV chasis. I did not want...

To add some general low intensity lighting to the cabin, I used a 6 ft run of LED rope lights. Very low power. I plan to design a circuit to allow them to be run at very low intensity as a night light.

I recently completed a small project to permenantly mount a small LCD TV, external Shakespeare amplified antenna and digital converter box so that we can watch COLLEGE FOOTBALL while cruising. Here is a link to the components for anyone interested: http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ...

Guntersville-State-Park-Labor-Day: The Shakespeare Skywatch 2020G antenna is mounted to a SS post at the very rear of the pilot house roof. This mount provides enough strength to lay an inflable on top of it if needed.

Back-of-Tv-Raised-Position: all that is needed to operate the TV is to rotate it and turn it on. Cables are dressed and clamped to eliminate movement problems.

TV-Stowed-Flat-Face-Down: TV stows flat in a protected position on a rubber mat. When underway, I place the front window cover on top of the tv for anti splash protection in rough water.

LCD-TV-in-Daytime-Light in operation: I found an inexpensive but very rugged mount and raised it slightly so that it stows flat on a rubber mat for shock protection.

Arctec-Rear-Connectors: Simple RF connections from the TV antenna to the TV and Audio / Video Jacks as well.

Arctec Pro-Digital-converter with remote: I selected this converter because of its small size and ability operate directly from 12V power. When off, it operates in analog mode and when on, simply tune the TV to CH 3 and let the converter do the tuning. I pick up 10 stations in clear digital from...

TV-Rotated-to-Viewing-Position: TV is flipped up, rotated and ready to view. Note the Digital Converter Box on the far left of the console stood up on end is bsrely visible and takes up very little space.

Shakespeare-TV-Amplifier: I redesigned the bulky mount and made a spacer to flush mount the amplifier box out of the way in front of the copilot seat. This box has a variable gain amplifier and ON OFF switch with LED indicator . When the amp is off, the external tv cable input is routed directly...

Jay, I designed this mod with off the shelf switches and an automotive washer system. I eliminated the need for a separate pushbutton switch for the washer by using the second pole of each DPDT switch wired in series. This means that both switches must be on in the momentary down position for...

For those bugged by the CD wiper operation: I finally got around to modifying the AFI 1000 wipers to eliminate the annoying run on problem of the factory setup. I added a DPDT switch (ON-OFF-Momentary ON) for each wiper so that they can be controlled individually to run continuously or in a...

Individual Wiper Switch Mod

Individual Wiper Switches - Replaced factory single switch with individual DPDT switches. These switches provide individual continuous operation or momentary operation of each wiper. With both switches in the down (Momentary} position, both wipers and window washers operate.

I have the SeaWatch 2025 and a Digital to Analog converter box that runs off 12VDC. An advantage of the Sea Watch 2025 is the variable gain amplifier and hook ups to cable built into the amplifier box. With the Amplifier off, the cable that I have wired into my CD 22 from the cockpit is...
