[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 297588, member: 7076"] Ok, So you've got a simple SPST (single pole, single throw) switch. This will give you the option to either lower or raise, not both. I've made a diagram that allows you to lower the anchor when you step on the switch. This will allow you to use the original switch to raise (or lower) the anchor. You will need two relays: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PHLQJW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 The reason you need two relays, is that you need to connect and disconnect the ground separately. If not, either the motor wouldn't work, or when you operate the stock switch, you would generate a short circuit. Anywho, take a look at this and let me know if you have any questions: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Foot Pedal Wiring.jpg"]46951._xfImport[/ATTACH] Good luck! [/QUOTE]
