Basta Boat Lift remote

[Horton]

We lost the remote to my life. Basta tells us that my receiver is is outdated/old and they do not have remotes for it any more. I will need to get a new receiver and remote $200 or $300

 

Anyone know a way around this?

@Horton -you have a remote control for your life? i dont even have a handle on mine. but you might be able to get your system working with a couple of relays and this diy system or some thing like it -

@Horton‌ have you checked Buford's crib? Could be the new toy of choice.

@horton ill come wire you one up, the only cost is a plane ticket, the time and labor is free!

Sunstream manufactures their floating lift under my patent. Basta and Sunstream were in a bidding war for the patent, and there is zero love between those guys. I'd be surprised if they share ANYThing, including remote technology. But, I've been surprised before.

I am just going to buy the new part. Screw it.

@Horton $200 - $300 is cheap if it removes stress and makes living easier.

I'm guessing Basta doesn't make their own remotes, I bet with a little searching you could find one for a lot cheaper. I bought a used galvanized Basta lift 4 years ago for $400, no hydraulic pump, lines, remote, etc. I got a pump with remote at a local trailer store, had lines made at a local hydraulic store and a solar panel off of Amazon for 5 times cheaper than what Basta was going to charge. I have less than $900 into the lift and that includes the initial $400

did you leave your remote in your old boat? Might call the lucky bastards you sold it to!
