This is a simple upgrade-except for the cable running part ;-)

You will need a booted SPDT (ON)-OFF-(ON) momentary switch mounted at the helm. Run a positive wire from an appropriate source (panelboard, fuse block, etc.) to the line side (center tab) of the switch. Run a wire forward from the UP load side of the switch and the DOWN load side of the switch (two wires total) forward and connect them, probably with a terminal block in the chain locker, to the load side of each of the foot switches on the foredeck.

Easy, peasey...except for the wire routing part!! The expense of a fob and wireless technology may be worth it.
