maybe it is a charger, i assumed it was some sort of inverter. but now that you mentioned it, makes sense that i wouldnt need an inverter if running of shore.
i am going up to the storage area this weekend & will get pics & try to find out exactly what it is.

Dude, that TV in my boat has a 12v connection on it already along with the 110v circuit. It has a built in DVD player too.
I think it is a Sony, but I don't know. Get Crownman to look in there for you. My boat is at his place.

too small & wasnt widescreen if i remember correctly.

No, that was the old one. The new one is 19 or better inches. Got it 2 Christmases ago. I don't think you have seen this one.

your right, havent seen that one. at the rate i am adding things, im hoping to have it done by the poker run now. lol

They make 19' 12v dvds built in ,for trucks . Pilot truck stops have them

yeah saw those, but want to use a stand alone so the kids can have their options. this one has an aux connector to plug an ipod in to. so they should be able to watch dvd or listen to their music from berth speakers & we can have our own music in the cockpit. i will have an audio selector to switch the input source to the amp from either the dvd or receiver.
well thats how it looks on paper anyway....

That's how I wired mine up.
A single switch that either selects the amp turn on lead that powers the amps and speakers in the cockpit for some outside rock'in, or selects the 4 cabin speakers only using the head units internal amp for those speakers using the speaker wires from the head unit for watching tv/dvds or listening to music inside w/o any power hunger amps. (long sentence )I used a micro switch and was limited to the number of wires that could connect to it. All that I found were just for 4 wires leads max. I needed 5 ( amp turn on lead and 1 of the wires from each of the 4 cabin speakers. So I just used a 4 pole relay to make/break the cabin speakers leads and triggered that relay with the micro switch.

The A/V jacks have since been eliminated when I mounted the TV permantly and also ran a wire to hook up my ipod touch at my dash.

that looks sharp. sounds similiar to how i will try to wire mine.

Yea, except his works.
