East Coast Dave Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I just got a "New to me" Pathfinder and I'm having a really hard time seeing the lettering under and above the rocker switches. I think some of this may be my aging eyes but does anyone have a picture of their 2011 switch panel? Do you know if it should be backlit? I have the black plexiglass type panel and I can make out some of the labeled switches but you have to get at just the right angle to read some of them with just the right light. Thanks in advance.

SCFD rtrd. Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Dave, I don't have any first hand knowledge about a 2011 HPS, but my 2013 had a backlighted switch panel. If you remove the four screws, pull the panel out and look at the backside, you will see a potted wire running all over the place, between the switches. If yours has that, then it is supposed to be backlighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Coast Dave Posted October 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I stuck my head underneath yesterday to take a look while a had a few minutes and didn't so one. It doesn't make any sense that it wouldn't be backlit, so I'm probably missing it and will pull the panel. I'm just trying to go through the boat while I have it out of the water and fix little things. Do you happen to have a swim ladder on the back of yours? I need to come up with a solution for that for the sandbar days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Yep, my swim platform was factory installed. My backlight panel only works when the running lights are on, but you probably already knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodWorks Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Replace the switch covers with the laser etched ones.... newwiremarine.com Assuming you have that type of switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Coast Dave Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Roadworks that what I was looking at doing. Have you use them before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
444bfd Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Check out idiatech too out of Miami. I don’t think they have a website but do have an Instagram. They use Bocatech switches and can make custom switch panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
