New boat, but stock dash panel switches dont light up at night.

[BKSinAZ]

Hello. <br /><br />I just bought a brand new reinell 20.4 ft 204FNS boat. I took it out on the lake last night. It was it's first night time run. I noticed that the all the dials such as the speedometer, temp, battery lighted up however, the on/off switches did not light up. The switches consist of the bilge, blower, accessories, navagation lights and one or two that I cant remember. I called the boat place and they dont know where I can find after market switches that light up.<br /><br />Do you know where or have any ideas?

At the top of this screen is the 'megamall' button. I just did a search, iboats have them.

If they are designed to be lighted, you have a problem.<br /><br />If not, you got what you got.<br /><br />My initial belief is that you have a wire "off" somewhere. That boat should have lighted guages and switches.<br /><br />Pay your dealer a call.<br /><br />I'm also, in AZ. Finding a GOOD dealer is a challenge.<br /><br />Good luck.

where in AZ are you? I'm in Tucson.<br /><br />As I stated, the gauges work fine. Its the rocker switches I got a problem with. They are not broken, its just the way they are made.
