Dash fuse holder

The boat I bought last year has the dash type tube style fuse holder. It's on the dash and kind of looks like a button. You give it a half turn counter-clockwise and a cap comes off revealing the tube fuse. I am missing one of the caps. Does anyone know where to find these?

I don't need the fuses. I need the black cap that holds it into the dash. All I can find is the inline type that looks similar, but instead of a cap it has a wire out the top end. If you see the breaker panels on west they have the fuses this way. It looks like a round button next to the rocker switch. The cap comes off and a tube fuse drops in.

I have tried the online sources. Have not been to the dealers yet. The only place I see them is in a panel that west marine sells. The cheapest one is $11.99. So that's what it would cost that way. I'm sure it's like a $1 part. Just can't find them.

An electronics surplus house would be a good place to go.
