Windlass Switch Replacement Needed

[Bradley Cavedo]

Does anyone know where to buy replacement up and down foot switches that came with the windlasses on the larger Hunters? They were made by Quick of di Ravenna Italy and have the rubber buttons with the safety cover that flips over them. Mine are worn out and the Lewmar replacement switches are too big and require a 1 inch hole to be cut into the deck. The Quick switches are still made but I can find them for sale only in England and Europe.Any help would be appreciated.

Brad, My OEM switches rotted in the sun. I couldn't find the original but purchased Lewmar units from Hunter. Unfortunately they have a different pattern for the screws and the wires that come from the switch. I drilled out the original holes in the deck and filled with WEST stuff and reinstalled the new switches. The rubber parts of the switch are completely covered by the lids so I hope they will last longer.
