Default Night vision is literally critical when night boating

You are correct. That is why I added a separate toggle switch to turn off those blinding dash lights. All boats should be so-equipped as very often those gauges also reflect in the windshield. I just flick it on momentarily to check status once in a while. I probably should have made it a dimmer switch instead of a toggle, but it was one I had already. Any marina could easily do this for you.
