So yesterday I’m down at the dock watching TV and I notice the digital channels had poor reception.Today I go up to the antenna mounted on the hardtop, remove it by loosening the set screw, remove the antenna cable, (looked crappy) and install a new type f connector and remount the antenna.

Go in cabin, turn on ac breaker for tv and stbd outlets, turn on dc breaker for the glomex antenna, hit the remote to power on the tv and nothing. No indicator light on TV. Change batteries in remote... still no indicator light on TV. Hit power button on TV itself...nothing. Check breakers on panel in cabin, and other stbd ac outlets all working. Go in bilge and check main breaker panel, all breakers normal. Check GFI outlet on stbd side by cockpit refrigerator, all ok. Still no indicator light coming on on TV.

WTF!!! Worked fine yesterday! What the hell am I missing?? Any thoughts/ideas are welcome.

Thx

You're missing the opportunity to justify adding a new TV? :)

Seems like you have your bases covered. Try plugging in something else to the outlet behind the TV and see if the outlet has power.
On mine, the power button on the remote to turn the Toshiba TV on is extremely finiky, so much so that I just use the FireTV Stick remote to turn it on and off. If you tried the TV power button though it sounds like you have that covered.
