Swim Ladder Clips

The rubber covering on both swim ladder clips have discolored and are starting to dry out. Does anyone know where replacement clips or covers can be found?
I was thinking of removing the old cover and "dipping" the clips in the rubbery stuff you use for tool handles, (pliers, etc.).
Any thoughts would be more than welcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but I am talking about the clips that hold the ladder in place on the stern railing. Sorry for the confusion.

if you don't know about sugru you should!

A while back I asked this forum for some ideas on a repair and was given a great tip!! Go to this site http://sugru.com and see if this might do the trick for you. Its great stuff, and can be used in so many applications. When it dries/cures, it is amazing stuff. It comes in black, white and colors.. I bought a pack of black and white and they come individual portions. There is an expiration date on each package but I have found that as long as I don't open the individual package they stay fresh. Very cool stuff!

Thanks to all of you for your help. I have ordered from Catalina Direct and that makes the Admiral very happy. Thanks again.
