    'lo List,

    Does anyone on the List have any suggestions on mounting TV's and VCR's on
    wall mounts?

    Here's my problem:

    1) The TV and VCR in the saloon are both sitting on a wood entertainment
    stand on casters. This means that whenever we are underway (and when we
    remember) we
    lift the TV and VCR off the stand and put them both on the saloon sole so
    that they don't end up falling and smashing when we encountered rough seas.

    2) The entertainment center (and TV/VCR) take up much needed floor space,
    space that could be better suited to a built in desk for a computer and
    accessories. However, the entertainment value of the TV/VCR is important and
    I don't want to lose it.

    So.....

    I'm wondering how other folks deal with this problem. Has anyone used one
    of the wall mount systems with swivels? Is a shelving system something that
    has been used successfully and how do others hold appliances of this nature
    in place while underway? Any other ideas?

    Thanks in advance.
