Generic Reversing Relay vs. Power Pole Reversing Relay Box

[thomasfouraker]

Is there anything special about the reversing relay module that Power Pole manufactures?

I can pick up a 75amp continuous draw/150amp surge reversing relay for a fraction of the cost of a reversing relay module through power pole and just fuse the load side with the correct 30 amp inline fuse.

Any reason why I would regret doing this?

This is for an old 8' Sportmans with the older style Parker pump.

Thanks!

Did this work out ok?

It's hard to tell. It may work and it may take a dump at any time...

I can say that not all relays are created equal. I know of (2) Jack Plate brands which both use a relay pack. Brand A has issues with burnt out relays. Brand B I can't say I have ever had an issue with a relay pack...
