I'm making good progress on the install, so I'm already looking at an upgrade.

Specifically, I'd like a remote. I can buy one for "only" $332.76:


It looks pretty easy to wire into the computer. Just four wires; ground, Port, Starboard and light:


But I got to thinking. I'd be OK without the light. So, why can't I just hook ANY switch up to those three remaining terminals?

Better yet, why not hook any WIRELESS REMOTE switch up to those three terminals?

Maybe like this one for $14.69:


Hmmm. $318.07 for a light. Doesn't sound like such a great deal any more.

Am I missing something?
