It mentions a remote. How well does that work and does this unit allow the installation of a hardwired remote that could put on the back of my boat?

My remote did not work, but it was no big deal to me because I used this receiver for an ice chest radio. If you're looking for something for your boat, I would recommend the Boss MR 1620. This receiver comes with a wired remote. This is the model I bought off of Amazon for my boat in which I never have to use the buttons on the receiver itself; only use the remote. I have had this receiver for about 3 years now with no problems.

The wireless remote works very well for me. I have no idea about the installation of a hardwired remote.

The boat we purchased came with a remote. We purchased two boats to race. Both came with remotes.

I am not an expert but I think that might be little too wet for this remote. I think they make a wireless remote that is waterproof, that might be a better choice. Good luck p.s this unit is fantastic

I apologize the Powerwinch 24' Class Pontoon Boat Anchor Winch does not come with a wireless remote.

I also ordered two and one remote operates both boats. If you look on the back it tells you the frequency of the boat and the transmitter. I wish they had at least two different combinations so the boats could be operated together.

It has an outlet that a remote switch can be plugged into. You will have to acquire separately and install.

I've never used the remote. I always have the radio set up on Bluetooth to my phone. I control everything with my phone, station, pandora, volume etc. I have a 36 ft cruiser. I leave the phone at the helm and the radio is forward in the cabin. Even with the cabin door close, I have no issues.

My barbwire came with the remote controller to operate the boat. I know that for sure. I still have the box the boat came in and there is a cutout in the styrofoam for the remote. Can't recall for sure, but I think I had to buy the batteries and charger separately. BTW - great little boat!!

If you are asking if you can plug this unit a car remote to program it, yes you can.

Mike: This comes with an On/Off switch that I installed on my electronics panel in the camper. It is recommend that you turn the unit off after it has found the satellite. This is because as you know, the wind and walking around the camper makes the camper move around a little and will cause the dish to constantly correct for the movement. And of course you need to shut the unit down as you travel the highways or the dish will be constantly correcting and it may damage it. The switch is hooked up to a 12v power supply in the camper and to the twin leads that go up on the roof of the camper to control the electric motors and signal sensors in the unit. The unit comes with very detailed installation photos, drawing and diagrams. If you go to the Winegard website you can down load the installation instructions. It took me about 3 hours to install, most of that time was spent making sure the caulking was complete enough to keep the roof water tight. It works perfectly and the Amazon price is far lower than any other place I checked. Steve

I assume you mean remote control. The answer is YES, the unit does come with a remote, however I have never actually used it for anything!

It is so you can have two different boats going at the same time . Otherwise you have one remote controlling two boats. You just switch the MHz on one

Hi...if you mean...a hook up for cable...for sure. I just hooked up my cable wire to the back and boom...there was the picture. I am still working to get the remote synced...but, it was so easy to install. Look at the specs and you will see it on the back of the TV. Lots of other hook ups too...USB and more. Good luck. I love it so far.

I got the cable guy to do it for me I was lucky it was complicated. I tried to do it again on my own with another remote but no luck. Hope your luck is better than mine.

Yes, this remote must be programmed by a dealer; it requires special equipment. My dealer quoted $25 for the service, but wound up doing it for free as a goodwill gesture.

Yes, and I think it is a good remote for the unit. Everything you would basically use is on it

This unit came with a plug in remote, not what I'd call a wired remote similar to what an ATV would have mounted to the handlebars or somewhere else on the machine.
