So far I only checked the cable attachment at the switch. Should have and will check the cables under the windlass, which sits on a pedestal/storage hatch. Switch is about 2 years old, by sound and feel seems to open/close as I`d expect. I think we did a good sealing job last replacement, but we`ve had some extreme rain periods recently. Boat is an hour away, I`ll take a new switch with me,a good spare onboard if it is not required this time.
If the cabling is ok I can can let the chain out a little and momentarily join the 2 switch poles. I`ll know in an instant if it runs, at 1200 watts the motor is fast and strong, the ammeter never recovered fully from the shock first time we used it.
The remote sounds a good idea, not pricey either.
