Maxwell White P19007 Covered Windlass Footswitch

The Maxwell P19007 is a white covered windlass footswitch rated at 200 amps for 12V or 24V, with a UV stabilized waterproof diaphragm.

A covered footswitch has a hinged lid over the button, which stops an anchor being deployed by someone standing on the switch. On a foredeck people walk over that spot constantly. That is the difference between the covered and open versions, and it matters most on a boat where the switch sits in a working area rather than tucked against the windlass.

Two hundred amps is a substantial rating, and it has to be, since a footswitch takes the full motor current rather than operating a solenoid. A UV stabilized diaphragm is what stops the rubber going brittle and splitting on a foredeck, which is where an unprotected switch fails first. White suits a white deck.
