Hi Pete
The FS2 (or the FS1 - you don't need low battery) work OK as long as they're dry  ::) ::)
One end of the throw works better than the other, so can be jittery at one end.
I've got an Mtronic (I think) which has a push button setup.  Very small and the same price as the FS1.  I got it at Weymouth but can't remember who from.  It's working very well - so far, and was really easy to set.

My GWS failsafes have so far worked as they should, no issues.

Use Schumacher/Mtoroniks (same thing despite the name difference).
I bought the first one to try from Tony Ellis of Model Marine Supplies and then went back and bought 6 more. Price about £10 each.
