Can I use this control box with any windlass motor?
No. The SPA-20697 is specifically designed for 12V DC 2- or 4-wire windlass motors within the 1000–1700W range. Always confirm compatibility with your system.
Is this unit really watertight?
Yes. With its IP66 rating and resin-sealed casing, the unit is fully protected from dust and strong water jets, making it suitable for harsh marine conditions.
Why choose a dual solenoid box?
Dual solenoids allow independent up/down operation of your windlass, improving responsiveness and reducing stress on the motor system.
