Transom remote

[Oldernotwiser]

Posted on Supra but will ask same question here. With Bluetooth and passenger stereo access does anyone bothering ordering transom remote? I dont ever remember using it although we have had it on all our boats. Was thinking about leaving it off new build.

We never use ours. If I was to build a boat I would leave it off. More stuff on the boat means more stuff to break. So if I dont use it I don’t want it.

had it on our first 3 and not on current and won't miss it but we also don't have a sandbar here in vegas we go to. in wisconsin we used it pretty regularly while chillin at the back of the boat at the bar.
that would be the only reason we would add again.

we never used ours on our previous boat so i didn't order it on our new boat but the dealer put a small Fusion "puck" remote on the transom. They are only $45 from amazon and you can mount them anywhere if you wanted to go that rout.

Don't use mine. If I built a new boat, not sure I would add the option.

I use mine a lot, but that may be why I've been through 4 of them in 3 seasons... The Fusion remote with screen is a piece of crap. I won't order it again, and just do something else next time. I think the new boats with the remote above the rub rail may be better - mine gets drenched every time I stop with weight in the boat.

Normally the screen just stops working, but the buttons are OK, but this latest time it would intermittently crank the volume to MAX and randomly press "pause" I ended up disconnecting the NMEA2000 cable last time we where out this season. Right now I think I'll probably get a replacement and not even put it on the boat until I'm ready to sell. If there weren't a hole in my hull I'd pull it out. Maximum disappointment!

I wish the Supra transom remotes were the Bluetooth variants. I believe only the hard wired remotes work with the vision system.

same thing with our current boat. all the stereo is packed into the screens and must add wired.
I'm in the middle of ditching that and installing a fusion deck to get the audio away from the screens and my hope is I'll end up with a better signal path. the pucks were part of the decision to go with fusion knowing I can add one or 2 around the interior of the boat.

we had one on our max and barely used it.... maybe.. occasionally.. but not really..

for the max anyway... it was kinda funky - you had to have the key in an "on" position or something or it wouldn't work.. I think if it was on accessory.. it wouldn't work.. can't exactly recall... but it was super annoying. so many times i went to the back of the boat to use it and I had to go switch the key like every time..

that being said.. we are planning on ordering it again in the mojo.. more or less to say "it has every option, loaded).. (minus a heater here in TX)..

Get the heater. Even in texas it's awesome. So nice for early and late season.
