Vetus foot switch for windlass

[dhays]

The rubber covers have disintegrated. Can those be replaced or do I need a whole new switch?

Can you make one from rubber stock?

I bought some covers from Ideal a few years back. Not sure if the same dimensions.

I will check on that.

Forget foot switch. Get a remote switch and put it on a lanyard around your neck so you don’t drop it. With a phob you can control the winch from anywhere on the boat. I find anchoring from the fly bridge gives me better sight lines of obstacles, other boats, and better awareness of wind and currents
Also a lot cheaper, $29. (Check Amazon for products.)

I replaced mine with covers I got from westmarine.
