[Rhodes22-list] Lowering motor on electric lift if battery dies?

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Bob,

I've always wanted to ask that question also. 

My boat didn't come with a up and down switch, only wireless. 

I really need at least a backup remote, but I am not sure if there are frequency issues. 

I should have insisted that Stan's team install one before I picked up the boat. 

I am thinking you could cut the belt in an emergency if you needed to lower the motor. 

Thoughts?

Cheers
Ted
