So ! My mind is always going what can i do next? Guess it comes from being retired LOL
A small project , but it made me happy sorry no installation photos
 
I added a tv to my arch but took the mounting in a different approach. I purchased a rail mount tv bracket. Using the bimini frame from the arch I mounted to that. Rotated the tv to to proper level and swung it back over the arch, tilted down slightly and locked it in place. Solid and no drilling. I ran the power down the arch under the cabinet and power under sink. It's a smart tv so I don't care about cable or an antenna. Just down load movies to my phone and cast or wifi streaming.

If you want cable to the tv just tap into your existing cable and bridge it the tv following the power cord back to the tv.

This does work out well it can be seen from every seat but the helm. I as well went down the
arch and into a cabinet for power. Where we are i get about 22 channels , I run 3 tv's at once
the master, Salon, and this one on a Glomax digital antenna with perfect pictures. Then we
Hot spot with the phone for Netflix and such.

Very interested in what you did. I would love to see pics. Also the type of bracket you used. Thanks

I don't have any pics but I'll do my best to describe. This is on my 2001 410. My buddy did the same on his 2003 360. He used the arm that swings.
Amazon
Pro Signal Bracket Pole Mount Double Arm

Connect to the pole rear of arch that is nearly vertical. Cut a 3" rubber hose, placed it on pole, then clamp the arm to that. Adjust level of tv and swing forward towards arch.

I used - Pro Signal Bracket Pole Mount VESA75/100.

With this set up I clamped it to the bimini pole that runs horizontal back from arch that the sunbrella pulls over the top of. The mount side with the bolts that tighten is placed face up towards the sky. I used 3m velcro soft side up glued to the bracket so the sunbrella is rubbing on a soft material. Used a small 3" cut rubber hose over the pole so the clamp got a good bite with no movement. Adjusted all the bracket joints so the tv sat level with the proper tilt down. That same bracket can be used on the vertical pole, in my case the back of it was just touching the canvas window.

One way to think about the pole mount is were ever there is a free open bimini pole, regardless of angle, you can mount a tv there. Just adjust the mount joints to align the tv as you wish.

Hope that helps.

The Mount i used is nothing fancy just a flat fixed wall mount
The angle of the arch just happen to be right. No Cable seen!

Nice job! On a different note Is your canvas insulate Do? It looks like black canvas but in one picture the inside looks tan.
