Re: Aft Deck TV
If you have a hollow ceiling like mine, push up on it, if it flexes, the bottom layer has no core. If that's the case, I would consider finding a mount that you could fasten to the bench's back support brackets. Do a Google search, you'll see a ton of options.

Going to have to go with a articulating arm or hardtop mounted pole. Don't think I can get a drop down one big enough.

Another thought if the ceiling doesn't work out; I wonder if there is enough room between the sliding door when it's open (where it is in the photo) and the sink cabinet to install a mount to the back of the cabinet. Might be a good location as long as opening the sink lid doesn't hit the TV.

That may be an option! I might be able to do a pole mount from the cabinet. Thanks!

Re: Aft Deck TV
I ran cable to it from the salon and the TV also has a DVD slot in the side to watch movies.
It is very solid on my application, however yours would be a bit different. You could mount to the side of your cabinet with brackets and use backing plates. You can access the back through the cabinet beside the fridge/icemaker.

Viper wrote:Source of the post I doubt the cabinet is built to be load bearing but you should be able to get to the inside of that back wall to add a backer where you fasten the mount. Bed it in with caulking before you thru-bolt the mount. The bigger the backer plate the more it'll spread the load. If you can extend the plate to the floor, it'll help make that area more rigid. May be overkill but you'd be surprised how much load can be exerted on a surface when you're bouncing around in rough water. How big of a screen are you thinking about?
Looking at adding between a 46” or 50” depending on the mount and where it is mounted. We will definitely add a backer. Thanks for your thoughts!
