Windlass Help - 2007 280 EC

jme097

Guys - There is no sun damage at all on my boat except for the windlass nameplate. It bugs the heck out of me lol. Any idea of where I can get a replacement? I searched but couldn't find anything. If not a replacement, anyone replace it with something newer? Any help would be appreciated!

I am the same way with replacing faded and worn parts. This one should be an exact replacement.

Since Defender won't let me post their link, the product number on their site is 990013. If you search for it in the upper left corner of their site it comes up.

Keep the helm covered.

Hahaha, should have looked a little harder. I was searching Simpson not Lewmar. I keep a sheet on the helm whenever i am not there and towel on it when we're out on the water and anchored. This was from the previous owner. I appreciate all the help guys!

I just use my cockpit cover when I am not there. Keeps the inside nice.

i do sometimes keep the cockpit cover on. Just nice keeping the camper top on so you can just walk right on.
