On the back of mine were 4 bolt holes. I found small bolts that would fit, drilled holes in the bulkhead and bolted through the bulkhead and into the back of the set. Has worked well, TV not damaged at all, and has been thrown around (with the boat !) a lot.

This is a serious post you know not one of those silly posts you see on here

Here's a serious answer.

FSTs are designed to be mounted to walls. Go out and buy a mounting kit. No, not a mountain kit.

If there is a four bolt pattern on the back of the screen, have a look online for VESA 75 brackets.

I used a four hole fitting kit from Comet , about £12. If your tv has the four hole back plate, which I suspect it has, fit one plate to tv and other plate to bulkhead, hook tv plate over bulkhead plate and screw up locating screw. Job done, good luck. What aerial are you useing ?

Or for the cheapo option (the yottie option) is to put a bolt in each of the top holes, wrap some piano wire around bolts. Screw a screw in the bulhead and hang TV like a picture frame /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

drill ma 1/16" hole through the ( wot we call the bulkhead ) & simply measure the thickness. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

The four small tapped holes in the back are to take the wall mounting plate, www.bracketsuk.com. Search for a 'flush' type.

We wanted to mount a small monitor / tv to one side of the pilothouse..
heres our solution, but we built in "in"... the mounting is simple








hope that helps
