Can You get to the TV power cord? Try running an extention cord to the TV from another power source. This will at least tell you if it is the TV it self or if its the power at the plug.

Good luck!

Nope that would be way too easy We can't figure out how to get the tv out of its cubby There appears to be a shelf under it but it doesnt move Today hubby is going to take the drawers out that are under the tv to see if there is someway to remove the tv but one would think there is a easier way

Are you talking about the tray that the TV sits on? On my boat, the tray pulls out and swivels. There is a cut out on the face of the tray, i reach in w/ my left hand - on the right hand side there is a metal latch. Just poke/pull around and you should be able to release the tray and pull the TV out.

Good luck... Hopefully your boat is the same as mine and it works :huh:

Not familiar with the boat and where the TV gets its power, but make sure none of the GFCI outlets are tripped. There's usually one in the head, and a 2nd located somewhere in the cabin. I've spent a few wasted hours troubleshooting electrical issues because I forgot about checking them.

Is your tv a tube tv or flat screen?? It should sit on a sliding meatal tray if its a tube, so it can pull out and swivel. see if you can reach under the tv and find a latch to release it.

Your best bet is to take some pics and post them so we can see the set up

I am assuming you are referring to a tv and install like this one

I think the TV slides out. Put you finger into cut out opening feel to the right you should feel a latch. Push it and pull the TV out. There will be an outlet back there that the TV and the Glomax antenna are plugged into. Check that outlet. Then check for the GFI outlet to see if its tripped. The TV is screwed onto the black wood shelf with 4 wood screws screwed in from the underneath. These are screwed directly through the shelf into and into the TV. I know nice install by Sea Ray, but it works....
