I am located on the main channel on the 21 mile marker at the Lake of the Ozarks and am in need of a remote so I can safely lift my boat out of the water whenever I leave. When I asked around I heard Firstmate had a lot of problems and was nothing more than a liability. Does anyone know another company that could take care of my problem?

I have been using a Firstmate on the lift for my 292 since 2006. Works great. No problems at all. What have you heard?

You might try to contact GTO. They mfg gate remotes with high capacity servos...

firstmate kick ass no probs year around for 5 years

I got the gem remotes too. Couldn't imagine not having one now.

Stevedok, what problems have you heard about the Firstmate system??

First Mate all the way...works great for us...had mine for a couple years now and never had a problem....Mine has the option that will raise it back up if it starts to loose air and goes down.... That and I have a security monitor that will alert me if it goes down... I watch mine on my lake cam's daily to check things out... I don't keep the boat on it over the winter I don't trust any of them that far....

Same here, my First Mate works great too. That's why I was wondering about the 'lot of problems' comment. Interesting first post with no response.
