Lowcountry Joe Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 My boat is on a lift and when I return from fishing, I activate my remote for the lift some distance away so the lift is in the water when I arrive. The problem is I can't tell if the lift is going down because it goes slow . What I need is a light on the lift that goes on when the lift is activated by the remote. What I'm thinking is to wire a light on the lift by tapping into the hot wire on the down motor on the lift. Is this possible , has anybody done this, or am I crazy ?

smooth move Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 sounds like the way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I have a motion activated light for the dock area that I have aimed the sensor towards the boat/lift. It triggers when the lift moves as well as movement on the dock. An alternative maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-linesider Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 We have a motion detector on ours as well. Or you could buy a remote plug. I have this on my outdoor Christmas lights. Not sure what kind of range it has but it works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
