Removing Sylvania TV/VCR in 2002 330 Express

[usmm1234]

Before I pull my fridge out. Anybody removed one of these antiques from their boat. There is a tie down strap that is unhooked, but TV feels like it’s bolted down? I’ve got a new flat screen coming with an articulating wall mount. Just need to get the old one out.

It's been awhile since I did exactly what you are planning to do. I believe I had to take out the refrigerator to reach the bolts that hold the base to the TV.

I got it out. 7 screws allowed the fridge removal. Then one bolt holding down the lazy Susan that the TV was mounted to. The empty hole where the TV was fits my compact Kuerig coffee maker. I’m going to mount a flat screen on a swing mount that will hide the coffee maker when it’s not being used. Moved the stereo to the hardtop electronics box and put a DVD player in its place.View attachment 8800View attachment 8802

Finished at last! I used the Grady wiring harness to send speaker signal from the hardtop to the Galley area. Then connected that to the speaker wires going from the galley to the fore peak speakers. My 12 volt stereo breaker is now the DVD player breaker. It all worked out great. We much prefer having the stereo receiver in the electronics box.

I added a stereo remote down in the cabin so we can control it from down below at night and in the morning.
