Wireless windless remote

[Dannyround]

Anyone had any practice with the Maxwell AA710 wireless handheld windless remote eg how good it keeps connection re distance. Looking to put it onto my new windlass on my 42 ft center cockpit sailing yacht thanks danny

I have a cheapie wireless remote. 12 aud from ebay. For car re winch.
Works wonderfully from all over my 40' allot boat. Universal mount on my lofrans 1500 watt anchor windlass.
Maybe a split second delay in activation after pressing up or down.
Recommend.

I also bought a cheap remote from eBay. Same as surf machine a bit of a delay. You have to allow for that would bring you the anchor back. Other than that has worked well I think I spent like $25

Wow 25 bucks is good this unit I mention is 1400 nzd but I do like the chain counter on it

Maybe on a boat that is not excessively long you can do without a counter?

I used a unit with a counter and frankly I relied on the sounds the anchor winch made more than on the display. Odd, but that's how it worked best for me.
