I have installed quite a few of the Lewmar wireless remotes for their windlass controls. I always tell the customer that they do not work reliably so their expectations are not high. That is the only windlass remote I am familiar with. I have installed several wireless remotes for the Raymarine autopilots for steering, which seem to be a bit more reliable but not great. I just last week finished installing a wireless remote for my boom winch for raising/lowering the Zodiac. Time will tell on the reliability but so far so good.
I would never trust having wireless controls for steering or throttle without an easy, positive way of shutting it down instantly.
