I’ve seen one or two old posts about adding a reversing solenoid to the c320 windlass, but does anyone know if the VC500 model from the 90’s was actually specified for bi-directional use?  The owner’s manual only refers to installation with a single foot switch.  I’m sure it would operate in both directions, but is it an approved configuration?

Thanks,
Dennis
