Help! - First time out now the weather is good and when I switched on my NAV lights my instrument cluster lighting would not come on for any of the instruments. Even the little red light that usually lights up for the dimmer switch was out. My NAV/Anchor lights worked ok, as do all my other accessory lights, but it looks like the dimmer switch might have died. I checked the parts page and could not find anything (that I could see) referencing a dimmer switch. Can anyone point me in the direction to where I can find a replacement dimmer switch (rotating type).
Thanks!

I was able to find a DPDT switch at West Marine that should work. Had no joy finding a Mariah replacement. Although my Mariah logo is worn on the switch anyway, I can still use the original knob itself and just mount on the replacement switch. It is not a 360 degree "rheostat type, but I am fine with having the Dim-Off-Bright settings.
