Re: lofrans tigres

If you have the push button foot pedal type switches.... they stick all the time.... not cheap but you windlass Probably isnt the problem... and I doubt its the solenoid... look at the switch. Mine did the same swapped out the switch everything is fine.

Re: lofrans tigres

My hand held wired remote played up and I took it to a computer repair shop to re-solder the wires inside.

Works fine now.

Reason why the wires were worked loose is that left of the hook the remote handle swings as the boat rocks.... at the wires.

Open it up and look anyway.

Re: Lofrans Tigres

Is the wiring up to the right size?

Probably is but if it isn't..........
