And...if you want multiple stations to control the winch, you simply put
one rotary switch marked for each station in the common terminal of each
station's switch so that only ONE station will have power to this common
contact at a time. Only one station will work at a time with no danger of
one keying the up and the other keying the down simultaneously....better
control for the winch operator.

Safety-wise, this would also mean that if the rotary switch were pointing
at the footswitch on the bow, some STUPID couldn't wind your fingers into
the winch by pressing UP at the station of the helm. It would be even
safer if the rotary switch were a KEYSWITCH and you took the key with you
on your way to the bow to operate the winch so STUPID couldn't turn the
switch to his/her station. That would be the ultimate control....(c;

They're YOUR fingers.....right??

Here's a cheesy diagram - rev1 - of how multi-station control looks

While in Mexico, I didn't have to press 1 for Spanish.
While in Iran, I didn't have to press 1 for Farsi, either.
It just isn't fair.

I didn't even mention the coil stoppers, the positive interlock, the
overcurrent resettable fuse...etc.... :-)
