Remote for Windless

[seadaddler]

Just installed this remote for windless that I found on Amazon and it was $39.80 plus free prime shipping and it worked great and easy to install not counting taking some wood panel a part in my vee berth.
I did get one many years ago for $25,00 but it stopped working a few years ago and needed
to check a leak where the windless is and so was so easy and so far really like it,it seems better quality than the one for $25.00.
I found it by accident on Amazon, look up anchor windless remote.

What model windlass do you have?
I installed a Lewmar V2 a couple of years ago and did not install a wireless remote, just the wired remote.

I not sure what model I have but it has the normal control transformer for the windless that I have seen on all
models of windless and so the windless does not matter the remote is wired to the control.

I installed the same one about a month ago from a comment made here on SBO on another thread. So far, working great on my Lofrans Tigress. The kit came with 2 units. I mounted one at the helm and one under the anchor locker door for easy access at the bow. Sometimes I take it in hand and other times just operate it on the cradle on the locker door. Great stuff so far.

I use remote control from RV winch for my windlass. Cheap and good.

I did purchase a remote that was I think was $25.00 a few years back and it was suppose
to be for a jeep windless and yes it did work OK for a few years but than it did start acting up.
I am very impressed with this one from Amazon for $39.80 and free shipping and have told a friend or two
and just hope it last a long time.

They work great for 40 bucks, Install is 30 minutes. Installed on 2000 Hunter 380 with Sprint 1000 Lawrence Simpson windlass. Water proof remotes with 2 nice mounts.

I think I did the original post about them....
