Our 12 volt panel has green lenses next to each breaker to show if the breaker is on. I haven't yet pulled it apart, but I'm wondering if anyone might know what bulbs it takes and where they could be found. I need to replace 1/2 dozen and I'd love to get them in hand before taking it apart.

1991 Carver Santego Thanks!
 
I have the same problem with my Carver. Lots of lights burned out and would be nice to replace them.
 
I am not sure what bulbs they are, but when you find out, one of the best places to buy electronic parts is www.mouser.com
 
I found it easier to replace them all. My dealer quoted me just under ten bucks each one but I found a place that had yellow ones for about a dollar each. They don't have the chrome trim ring around the bezel but they do look good. Let me know if you are interested and I'll look for the info.
 
Bet you can find them in any good auto parts supply store. Every bulb I've ever needed I have found in auto parts store and probably 1/2 the price.
 
Yes, Mouser is a good source. My company has purchased a lot from them over the years. Auto supply is probably a good local solution. If I don't hear any more about the size, I'll probably be able to pull that panel sometime within the next couple weeks to see.
 
Your lights are made by Sorenson Lighted Controls Inc. Check the website for your design. The hole is .312 size and they just push in. The 12V side uses 14V lights and the 120v side is 125V lights. They changed the neon green so the 125V are not as bright. They are a special order and come in 25 count bags at 2.99 each from Gopher Electronics in St. Paul, MN. One word of caution! Don't get the incandsant(?) lights, they don't handle movement well. I replaced the whole panel and so far lost 6. I'm going to try all new lights from a place in Texas off ebay, at a dollar each.
 
I forgot to add, if you haven't looked yet. You should get the lights with the 6" wire leads. I would look at the LED or Neon lights, they may cost a little more.
 
Thanks for the info night moves, very helpful. Gives me some ideas to check out. BTW, I will probably be in Red Wing tomorrow looking at a boat, small world!
 
If you're in Bay Point (Ole Miss) We must have 8 in the water for sale. Look down on "F" Deck. I'm the one on the right, can't miss the antenna's. Stop by!
