I find some of the lights on a Sea Ray boat (2006), SmartCraft
instruments etc rather annoyingly bright in the night, especially the
Compass and the stereo remote control.
How can I dim them further, and possibly change the blue (!)
illumination to another color? Has anyone modified it to use LEDs, eg
red or green instead of the dreadful blue?

TIA

The "Age Old Solution" to your problem is to change the Lights to
RED colored Light Souces, which will illuminate the instruments,
but not effect your Night Vision. This is what happens when
Designers, design products for a Markket they havee no experience or
understanding of. Blue Light is the absolute Worst color for Night
Vision type operations.
