Default Electric winch controls

Glenn,
My boat has one Andersen electric winch, and the switch is I'd say somewhat
less than 2 inches square with a hinged protective lid on it. Maybe about
3/8 inch high. I assume it came from Andersen, but I can't see it on their
website.
You might check w/ them.

Working on positioning my winches. The inboard port cabin top is an
electric #44 for the halyards and jib furler. My problem is finding a
place for these 2 big deck switches. They are like those big round deck
switches used on the foredeck for a windlass and there just is not enough
room for them on the cabin top.

Anyone know of a small low profile waterproof control? It just works the
solenoid below so it doesn't have to carry much current.
