Does anyone know offhand where I might find some replacement bulbs for the 12V and 120V panels (original panels) in my E35-3? A number of the lights are burned out, and I would love to get them all current....
Thanks,

Unless they changed suppliers by the time they built my 1988, you should try contacting the company that built the panel. I am not at the boat now to read the name. I remember needing some new "matching" labels for my panel in '96, and contacting the supplier and they sent my some. Overpriced, but a close match for the originals. Fwiw, my panel is labeled on the back as an "E-34" panel, even though the boat is an Olson 34.

Sean,
I too am in the same boat...I know, it was bad, but what the heck. I have about 6 of my 12v indicator lights out and wanted to replace them. I found the mfg of my lights, Leecraft. I found there web site. http://www.lightingcomponents.com/index2.html .
Here are the 2 styles,
12v are 41 series: http://www.lightingcomponents.com/products_serv/product_cat/41series.pdf
120v are 36 series: http://www.lightingcomponents.com/products_serv/product_cat/36series.pdf
The prices for the 12v ones range from $5.09 - $9.95. Look under the distributor page. I found there was a minimum order that I could not or did not want to match.
So here is what I did. In each of these lights there is a little light covered by a lens. I pushed the wires on the bottom to pop the lens out. Of course you have to remove the light from the panel first, this I stumbled on by accident. I then went to Radio Shack looking for some kind of replacement. I found an LED that I thought was going to fit inside the black tube to replace the light and lens. It did not, so I removed the LED from the housing, placed it in the tube where the light was, put the lens back in and it looks great. The Shack part# I used was 276-084A, red. If you need more information I can probably put some kind of procedure together.

Thanks!
Thanks for the info - I'll go over it, and open my panel sometime soon (it's slowly working it's way up the project list).

FWIW - NewMar Indicator Lights Source
Was also looking for a source for the 12 vold red lamps in the DC panel in our E32-3. The original panel maker Newmar has them on their web site for $3.90 in "bulk" whatever that means. Their site is www.newmarpower.com . Also Sierra has them available through West Marine for $6 (#19222254) or so but not quite the same. Both are for a 5/16 inch panel hole. Info a little late, but maybe helps someone.
