Default Labeling Rope Clutches

The people scream.. "Let the red one out ..the RED one, not the Orange one".
If I was going to have newbie's onboard often, I would have them.

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.
