Garbage. stopped working after 1 day.

Was easy to install, bought at the same time I bought no wind, it became difficult to hand pull the anchor, medical issues winding a coil in my locker and then stopped working, replaced the batteries in both Remote controls, still didn't work, the one I got was junk, maybe you'll have better luck. I spent a few bucks more and bought a higher quality remote control. When you need to get into hard-to-reach places, you have to swear and sweat a lot. It costs a few dollars more than having to doโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not sure

GREAT PRODUCT EASY TO USE

I installed this on my 1988 300 with an older Sea Wolf windless. Made several different attempts to get it working. There are no instructions included with the kit. Just make sure you use a test lamp to make sure you have a good +- connection. DO NOT CONNECT POWER CABLES TO A WIND-FREE MAGNET. It just turns on and off. Apart from this great product. Now I can be very lazy and just sit in the cockpit and drop or weigh anchor. *** UPDATE *** I've been using it for about a year and a half and theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Really don't like it, everything is fine

They work well and are easy to install.

These winch remotes work great. Very easy to install despite the lack of instructions, however they are available online. The remote control offers excellent up and down control and easily attaches to the anti-lost strap. We installed a wired remote control at the helm, but from this position it is impossible to see the anchor as it approaches the rink. With the wireless remote control you can go to the bow and finish your search while you see/flush the chain and anchor. With two people, thisโ€ฆ

GARBAGE NOT WATERPROOF

Absolute GARBAGE THEY ARE NOT WATERPROOF AT ALL. ON THE FIRST DAY after installation I had one of the remotes in my pocket when I jumped from the boat to the shore waist deep in the water for less than 5 seconds, immediately the remote burned out permanently and hasn't worked since then even after disassemble the remote immediately and dry it . kitchen paper and place in the summer sun to dry. ALSO upon disassembling I noticed that there is NOTHING INSIDE THAT FLOATS so the advertisedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Glad I went down this route

This product will save you $250 on a wireless connection for your Lewmar WINDLAS winch. I was and am glad that I chose this path. They were supposed to have a winch magnet, but the Lewmar V-700 I bought came with a magnet, so I was ready. It's true that this thing goes without direction. This is completely weird, but here's what I did to make it work: I ran a red wire to the same brass positive screw that takes the positive wire from the switch. A round plug came in handy so I could just slideโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • So far so good

First I'll tell you what makes it good. He weighs the anchor well when he's at the bow of my boat. It has a key ring hole on the top of the remote, there is a bracket, it seems well sealed, affordable but the winch remote is cheaper but compared to the winch it lets chains in on my Lewmar 700 winch through about quarter speed. 3 different winch remotes only allow the chain to be pulled out about 6 inches every 2 seconds. It is fetched at normal speed. Maybe he's just letting it go slowly toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
  • almost never
