Post subject:  Windlass Foot Switch
One of the foot switches for my windlass no longer has a cover. It looks like the plastic rotted and the cheap plastic hinge broke off. I didn't think it was a big deal until the day my wife was up on the bow to free the anchor and unknowingly sat on the switch with no cover. It took us both a second or two to realize what was happening and why the windlass was retracting by itself. After the dust settled I felt a bit foolish for not recognizing the potential danger. She could have easily lost a finger of worse.

I am now shopping for a replacement cap and am a bit surprised to see that I have to purchase the entire switch. I believe what I have now is a Maxwell P19007. Up here in Ontario I am looking at $100 each by the time I get them home.

Does anyone know of an alternative switch or a replacement cap that is available?

Thanks

Thanks for the link, that is the best price I have come accross. The down side is they wanted $60 to ship to Ontario.

I was able to find switch covers in Canada for about $30 each so I ordered them up.

If you are shopping from the USA you are correct.

If shopping from Canada you are very wrong.

My comments all reflect shopping from Canada eh.

I just purchased 2 switch covers from defender.com and shipped to Portland Ore. was $67.38.
The only thing I don't really care for is the new covers have Maxwell on them rather then a blank cover.
Otherwise happy with them.

Now that you mention it mine are the same.

I guess It will help me remember who made the windlass.
