Engine Control Panel Lights

[rpwillia]

These burn out. Not having the talent of a PaulJ to make my own, I found some on the Internet and bought them. The PC194 bulbs with the socket base sold for $0.69 each with shipping of $6.40. Considering my old Saturn had the 168 bulbs in the base and I paid nearly $8.00 each at the dealer I was quite pleased.

The place was BulbTown.com.

I did not realise that there is/was a light in that control panel. Probably because I have not used the boat at night. Where does it sit? Does it backlight automatically? It's not that funny little non-functioning light next to the 'blower'?
Same question for the Edson compass pedestal. I have not been able to detect any backlighting for that either.

There is a light bulb for every instrument

In my case the light inside the tachometer burned out. When you open your console on the back of the tachometer is a round black cover. You pop that off and you can then see the bulb in it's mount. The other 4 instruments (oil pressure, temperature, voltage, and ...) have their bulbs out in the open.

Thanks to PaulJ coming through, again, here is where the bulbs are located circled in black or pointed to by the arrow.

Re: PaulJ Delivers

Thanks for your, as always, brilliant teamwork and info. Shall investigate further when I start on our bay’s night watch roster.
