Search the on-line stores, Bill. I bought a bunch for a reasonable price a 
year or two ago, so that vendor probably has gone under by now. :-)

Vinyl and butyl (rubber?) suction cups seem to deteriorate with time. If 
you can find a source of silicone cups, they should last better submerged. 
Once you have yours fixed, I trust you will share the source with the rest 
of us. :-)
