I agree the control box is probably not what I would make but it does seem to work. The one I have runs off a garden variety drum switch.
His lift is 240v, mine is the same lift tapped for 120v.
He has 2 lift plates, I just have one. I never planned on being able to afford that big a boat
It also lets me share the circuit with the lights and a receptacle on the dock. I imagine you could run 2 3/4 HP motors on 120v 20a tho.
