I have a H41DS with a Simpson winch, not that it should matter. Seems like any brand’s wireless remote kit would work (even a 4x4 winch remote). Anybody disagree? Anybody try this already & have product recommendations? Thanks
I’ve been promoting this concept for years.
You can buy a $15 remote on eBay which does exactly the same functions as a “marine type” windlass remote that sells for $200
Here’s my only caveat…
You should wire in an extra relay between the remote receiver and the windlass bi-directional solenoid.
Also, you need to put 1N4004 (or equivalent ), clamp diodes across to coils.
These suppress fly back voltage.
Look it up, and you’ll see exactly how to wire them
This is important, as the relay will stay closed longer even after you’ve taken your finger off the button. This can cause mechanical damage to the system.
There are a ton of these universal remotes on eBay. All very reasonably priced
Good luck!!!
