Default Winch remote cord

Hi All,
I'm a rookie so be gentle. I just purchased a new promark winch. Included was a remote control cord that's about 10 feet. My question is: is there such a thing as a remote control extension cord to make it longer than 10 feet?
Thanks
Mike

Unfortunately I don't think anyone makes anything like that. There would seem to be a bit of a market for it though.

You could splice an extension cord to the original remote cord with a few butt connectors, then tape or heatshrink around the connectors for a relatively tidy look, but it would be a permanent thing.

The other thing to look for is a wireless remote. Most bigger name manufacturers make a kit for their winches. That way you don't need to worry about pulling two cables through the woods and mud if you're stuck.

Default Thought about it...

Hi, and thanks for the feed back. I got to thinking about it and after looking everywhere for the connectors for the cord and not finding anything to match it dawned on me, all I need is some three wire connectors like the type used for power extension cord. If I cut the wires and place this cord i make in line it should work. It takes me a couple of days to figure things out!
Again thanks for the help.
Mike

Nothing like good old fashioned innovation. Good ideas, let us know how it comes out.
