MS 24Volt TV Upgrade

We purchased a 2005 Mainship 430 aft cabin trawler last year (2016). The boat has a Sole` 23” 24-volt TV connected to a Bose system.

We are looking to upgrade to a TV that has HDMI capability, and possibly a Smart TV. We do want to connect it to the Bose system, and we do not need cable with today’s technologies. We would use a HD antenna.

We’re looking for ideas on how other MS trawlers have upgraded their 24V TVs to more contemporary technologies with their TV.

We dismounted the TV today to discover the 24V jack, and that the wiring harness is fished behind a wall that also houses the main salon AC unit. Disassembly appears very cumbersome and complicated to access this wiring harness.

Looking for ideas….

Thanks,

Jim
