COMPASSES
The night light on my Plastimo compass does not work. Are there replacement parts available for those units and , if so, where?

Are you sure its not the wiring or the switch? The compass on my C&C 34 is lit with an LED. These almost never die. My light did not work when I first got the boat and it turned out to be corrosion in the push-pull switch. I took out the switch, pried it open and cleaned it up. The light worked after that. Try testing for voltage at the switch using a meter or 12v test light. If there is voltage there try using a wire to bypass the switch and see if the light works.
