Just bought a Bullfrog R7 - want aux buttons for jet controls (Gecko control)

(1/2) > >>

mattyj:
We recently had our R7 delivered and it's great so far. I didn't really consider the A series as it was the same tub with some accessories added in for a lot more money.

BUT, I really wish I had the auxiliary control buttons for the jets, like the A series does, as opposed to only controlling them from the front display.

I cannot seem to find the parts online to make this happen. I think this is because they just switched to Gecko controls and I am only finding the accessories for Balboa systems.

My assumption is that I can easily bore a hole in the shell or skirt to install these buttons and plug them into the Gecko controller. Does anyone have a parts list for the 2019 tubs yet?

I had no idea...did Bullfrog really just switch to Gecko?  That makes my parts stocking a pain...

Yes, my R7 has a Gecko in.yt 

I asked my dealer. They said they don't have the updated parts catalog for 2019 Gecko models yet.

Yep, Bullfrog switched to gecko.  When I first heard I was very disappointed, but after speaking with people and seeing some in the field I have confidence that it will be a solid improvement.  Bullfrog takes reliability and quality very seriously and would not accept anything less than the best.  So far, so good.  I definitely have my reservations but I have faith that any issues will be addressed immediately and properly. 

I can't help with adding aux buttons.  Still learning the new systems.
