Boat Lift Remotes - Retrofit Possible?
I just had a 1,500# lift installed, and would really like to have the
remote option. Unfortunately, the manufacturer wants what I consider a ridicoulous $400 for the remote option. Garage door openers with remote control cost less than $200 for the whole thing, so why $400 for the remote option on a lift? I know, it's "marine"......... 8) Anyway, has anyone used another product, and integrated it into your lift to provide remote functionality? It's tempting just to buy a garage door opener and pull it apart! |

My neighbor has a remote system on his and when I started looking for parts it
turned out to be a gate opener controller. That may or may not get you to a cheaper source. Those "gated community" folks don't have a problem spending money either. I suspect the "marine" factor will add at least $100, if for no other reason that the lift merchant is a middle man. Parts wise I found zero difference. There wasn't even any difference in the box they used. |
