[C320-list] 10 pound television

[Utility Email]

FYI, 

My factory installed 15-inch flatscreen TV is mounted to the STBD wood bulkhead forward of the salon dinette table.  This location is very solid.  You can also watch the TV from the cockpit.  Is is very cool when puttering around on the boat on Saturday's during college football season.  You can catch the game and clean winches at the same time.  Very cool.  The fiberglass "bulkhead" between the head and the STBD dinette does not have anything mounted on it or to it on our boat.
