Its here!!! Finally!!! They sent the wrong amount of cable though (13ft instead of 25 like I had asked for) which kind of irritates me but whatever I can make it work. There were no clamps that came with the "kit" so it has to be welded which I was planning on doing anyways. I do have a question though, I am wondering about the switch and power to the valve. It says you have to hold it for 4-5sec for it to open fully, and then release it. Is there anyway to hook it up so I can just flip a switch and have it open and flip it the other way and have it close without having to hold the button down?

That sucks that they shorted you on the cable length and the clamps. Good excuse to weld it up right away. I know they send you the type of switch they do with those instructions because they don't want a constant load put on the mechanism within the valve's motor. It will burn it out.

+1 i was thinking of a switch till my buddy said if i changed it the motor would be constantly on , then the motor would burnout , then your cutout would be stuck open or closed lol
