Default Electric winch controls

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.

How about on the fwd. bulkhead of the cockpit?

Just make sure it has a guard. Electric winches can rip a sail pretty
fast if they start turning by accident.
