I’m thinking about putting this on my Winter projects list. You guys that have them had any issues?

Love mine, no more crawling on the ground.
Just lube it every couple of month with something.
I use olive oil, vasiline or silicone lube.
My old back loves mine. Just make sure and keep it clean {inside the boat too} and keep it lubricated.
My knees/back much appreciate the convenience. Two years in....no issues. Keep the O-ring lubed.
I like mine. I always trailer with the plug in so debris doesn't get on plug. No issues.
We have to trailer here in Wisconsin with the plug out. Sure beats getting on the wet boat landing ground to open plug. Do it!
Wish my Bullet would have come with one, how hard are they to install ? My boat did not come with an outside receptacle to plug charger in either, kind of a bummer.
Relatively easy to install. Great addition. Love mine on my triton. Plug is way out of reach. For the cost of it, easily the best/cost effective upgrade.
Love mine !! I use a lube on the "O" ring that you get at a pool supply store. It's for the filter pump basket "O" ring. It lasts longer in water. Here's a link from when I did mine.

One issue is the space available for installing. I bought one for my boat but realized that since the plug housing was a little long it wouldn't fit since I have a thru-hull transducer mounted just in front of the drain hole. Just be aware of that.
Love mine, installed it 6mo ago, easy job, definitely recommend. If you have to pull a wire through, always pull 2 and leave it for future installations. Good luck!

In MN we have to trailer with plug out to prevent the spread of milfoil and zebra mussels etc.
I put one in the Skeeter last yr . No problems . I mounted control under back deck lid in bilge . Went to Lowe's and bought a conduit hanger . Drilled one hole and that was it . Should be standard equipment in all boats .
Love mine. No more climbing under the boat to plug/unplug.
Have it and love it...lube it once a month unless I go out more than 4 times. Saves time and my knees from bending onto the concrete. The little things you know.
Next big purchase I make for the boat is a trick step.
Been fishin' since I was 5 years old...Thanks Grandpa!
No Brainer...
Of all the thousands I have spent on upgrades for my boat, I might appreciate this one as much as any others!!

Wanting too install one of these also. Given the replies, I will!
I installed mine about two weeks ago and it sure saves on the back and knees having to reach way under there to R&R the plug. I used a 10' cable and installed it on the right side in front of the shift lever. Only drawback is that I had to move two Power Pole pumps and the internal oil tank to get to the plug. Once I got all that out of the way the rest was easy.
Money well spent.
Has any one had any issues with the built in screen getting clogged up with stuff?
