Anyone know where I can find a better looking replacement? I'm hoping for "new old stock" It measures 1 7/8" by 2 15/16".

Hi Bob, I appreciate the suggestion. It's the panel that I want to replace. I think the light may already be an LED.

Re: Looking for Halon helm panel light
These were used on gas boate ch will shut down with halon. For diesel, you should have a shut down module whcih comes with a standard round gauge with light and override switch

Re: Looking for Halon helm panel light
Perhaps on a modern diesel boat! Mine is a 1966 antique. I'm merely attempting (with not much luck so far) to find a better looking old Fireboy panel to replace this one that is crusty. The likely answer is to have my engraving guy custom fabricate a direct replacement using the old one as a template.

Eric,
the existing cover has an authentic "patina". This should add value to your boat.

Re: Looking for Halon helm panel light
But how much good does a halon system do you if the agent gets sucked in the engines before it can do its job?
Just did an annual certification on the boat i run and we tested the shut down ayatem and over ride. Its not about the age of the boat, the shut down output can be connected to the shut down solenoid on a DD
I removing the CO bottle on my 53 and installing a bottle in each ER and gen room. Not sure yet if i ll put a single shut down for all machinery or three separate onesPascal
