I studied the problem for a long time and the only solution I could see was to fashion a bracket that moved the TV’s mount attach point down two inches. here
When I installed the 22” TV, I discovered a couple of issues. First, the power and antenna coax plug-ins are moved from the side of the TV to the bottom. That was solved by rerouting those cables and using a right angle coax adapter.
I had on hand from another project a couple strips of 1/8” x 2” aluminum. I drilled the aluminum strips to be able to fasten them to the back of the TV using the VESA screw holes. I drilled four additional holes in the aluminum strips two inches down and tapped them 10-24. I used those four holes to attach the TV to the articulating mount using 10-24 stainless screws. The VESA holes on the back of the TV have a lip that raises the aluminum strips by 1/8”. That extra 1/8” space between the aluminum strip and back of the TV gives the mounting screws plenty of bite. here
Second, and the biggest issue, the 100mm VESA screw hole pattern on the back of the 22” TV that is used to attach it to the R27’s overhead articulating mount is moved up two inches from where it is located on the 19”. That effectively moves the bottom of the 22” TV down on the mount so that when rotating it up into the stowed position, the bottom of the TV hits structure by a fraction of an inch preventing it from locking into the stowed position. more

My name is Todd and I am a fairly new owner of a 2011 Ranger Tugs R-27 Classic.
I purchased a Garmin video cable that has a VGA plug and two yellow RCA plugs labeled "Video-1" and "Video-2." I connected the VGA plug to an HDMI cord and also tried to plug into the TV using the RCA plugs with no luck. more
