If you end up wrecking one of your winch controllers, consider one of mine. I water proof them with silicone. Higher Voltage Winch Controller No Drift Winch Controller! (using 3 position transmitter channel) Winch Controller for Radio with 2 Position Third Channel |

Any problems in the water without waterproofing the 3racing winch? I'm debating the waterproofing idea or not.

I just sprayed my controller with liquid tape. I have been full submerged with no issues. The best part is the little button on the controller still works. The liquid tape is flexible enough to allow movement without cracking. Wes |
