Default Repair/Replace power cables/control port on winch

The power cables to my Engo winch are sowing some wear now where they connect to the winch. The small "boots" are degraded from the sun and elements. The winch is still working fine, but I'd like to replace the cables.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to size and vendor?

I also need to figure out a way to repair/secure the control connection port. The plastic housing is loose.

It's an Engo 10S that was bought either late 2014 or early 2015 can't remember.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Have you tried to contact the manufacturer at all? It's a shot in the dark, but they might volunteer to send you replacement parts out of goodwill. Say what you will about Smittybilt, but they in particular are pretty good about customer support like that. Naturally, you can't go in and start with "your product is crapping out on me!"


**I know we're not talking Smittybilt here....just using that as an example btw

Yea, I sent an email to the contact email address on their site as well as a facebook message. Haven't heard back yet, but I just sent them yesterday afternoon.
