I don't have pics but installed a LCD flat screen on the wall to the head, so it faced toward the bow. That way you could watch it from the v-berth.

Exactly what I did, combo TV/DVD. Ran an output to my 10" Navnet so I can watch the DVD at the helm or from the cockpit.

I have one on my Sailfish. Took the asy way out. I bought a flat screen DVD combo tv and justsit it on the rail in the middle of the cabin leaning against the wall when watching it. When not watching or underway it cal fit rignt up under the rod holders. I generally do not store my rods in the cabin so it is not an inconvenience. I was thinking of mounting it on the outside wall of the head but the the tuna were calling all fall!!

Thanks, I think outside the head is the way to go. That navnet idea is a bonus. I should have it done by the end the month and will post some pics.
