I have not asked about this subject in a while and was thinking that with all the new members maybe someone has identifed a source for these parts. What I am talking about is the switch panel backlighting system that Sea Ray used on many different models for many years. Without dragging up the whole subject these are electroluminescent film strips that when connected to a AC power source light up. Sea Ray used them to backlight the switch ID's on helms on many models including mine. The system uses an inverter to convert DC to AC, a potentiometer to adjust the light level and a number of separate electroluminescent film strips that were "glued" behind the dash panels that were etched with the ID lettering. My system works but one of the panels is shot. I have been to my llocal Marine Max parts departmetn with no help and checked the internet with little luck. Any one found a supplier for these things? I cant have the only 13 year old Sea Ray with this problem.
