Remote control of engine hatch

What type of remote control system do you suggest for the engine hatch linear actuators? I'm tired of replacing the solenoids every few months. Having it on a switch does not bother me, but if I'm changing system, why not go remote.
I see controls available but the guage of the wire to my motor, is much heavier than remote controllers.

You'll need a few relays. with this one but there are others that do the same thing.

I use a winch remote and snowplow reversing solenoid. Pretty simple setup.
