We just took delivery on a 06 282 Sailfish. The TV in it was a Replacement of the original. NO DC jack so there was no place close to plug it in being AC only. Also it will not Stow in the Compartment. I want the Original model TV with DC jack so we can run it on Battery. Anyone please steer me to the correct model. I hope it is still being made!

Don't bother with DC (dual voltage) TVs unless you are realy mobile wit a battery pack, get a cheap 100W converter from PEP boys.

Inverters and anything electronic is cheap and getting cheaper all the time.

You have many choices in small LCD TV's 19 inch and up, much less choices smaller, regular 120V style for all.

I just permanently mounted a 19 in widescreen Toshiba, believe it or not, fits my Sailfish. Recent price dops can find it down to about $175, few bucks more for built in DVD player.

Tip, if you want to watch your boat's MFD display in cabin, get a monitor input equipped TV.

Whatever is on MFD display, shows in cabin.
