I trimmed my TVs today to unblock my eyes 2020s built in ish lateral thruster.
I removed my starnboard TV and trimmed it with a jigsaw no problem. The problem with with the port side. The bucket bolt didn't budge and I ended up stripping it. So here's the tip. I ended up being able to trim the port TV while it was still on the boat. I used both a jigsaw and a dremmel to do it.
The new TVs don't need to be trimmed. The old TVs need to be on 2019 on later models.
This pic from below shows why trimming is necessary. See that the TVs are blocking the lateral thrust potential.
