None of those caps would work on my boat. The thread diameter is different, so the entire unit would have to be replaced. I have never seen a direct replacement for the C&C one. Everyone who sees them thinks they are a great idea, except for the fact that no one else has them. I always have to leave a winch handle out for the pumpout boat as they don’t have a winch handle aboard. If I get to that point, I think a machinist or 3D printer would be my direction to pursue.
