Default Labeling Rope Clutches

If you know your boat, you should no have to read labels. You should be
able to function when visually impaired (night or heavy rain). I learned my
unmarked clutches quick and communicate to others by using terms like Port--
outer, center, inner. There is no mistake. If the label peels off with out
your knowledge, your novices on board won't undertand your instruction when
you tell them to release the reefing line.

My sister just got a used sail boat boat and the markings on the rope
clutches/spinlock are worn badly and she would like to use some type of
label maker to re-label them. Is this feasible? Any suggestions would be
greatly appriciated. I was thinking of having small plates made at a sign
shop.
Thank You
