I will second the scotty auto-stop beads I started with the supplied crimps and had a cable fail right at the crimp. Big-Jon told me to adjust the cable guide that houses the switch close the spool which makes the stop rock up to make the switch. I have also had problems with switches going bad from water but they just don't stop the rigger when they fail. I used silicone in the crack between the two halves of that switch housing that helped keep water out. Big Jon said they are looking for a waterproof micro switch to solve that. My riggers are the Brute model hope this helps.
