Hi All,
I have a Microcat (i believe MK1) it has a FM 40Mhz crystal and 4 x bilge pumps if that confirms.
The boat has no transmitter - issue number 1.
Issue number 2 - when the previous owner borrowed a transmitter with matching crystal the boat would work to about 5M range and then go into fail safe mode which sounded like it lost signal.
If i get a replacement transmitter with matching crystal, I am concerned I'd have the same problem as the issue may lay with the receiver itself.
Would be a simple replacement however Angling Technics solder the RX onto a custom PCB from what I can tell.
Could a bait boat expert help me out here please?
I know 2.4Ghz conversions exist and I'd need something along the lines of this:

I'm comfortable soldering, taking it apart and fitting new parts, I just need a little help!
I'll even send you some money via PayPal if I can get this working with your help!
Thanks,
Chris
