Boss Buck 12V Auto Feeder Conversion Kit

Installation was straightforward, and the unit worked correctly when I first installed and tested it. It worked the first day after I placed the feeder back in the woods. When I returned three days later, before the next scheduled feeding time, the feeder was no longer working. The timer still powered on and would count down normally when I pressed the TEST button, but the motor/spinner did absolutely nothing. I went through several troubleshooting steps before concluding there was a problem with the unit. I disconnected and reconnected the battery terminals, checked the wiring and connections, inspected the inline fuse, and verified that the spinner was not obviously jammed. I also tested the 12V battery with a multimeter and measured approximately 12.61 volts, so the battery was supplying power. Despite the timer operating normally and the battery showing adequate voltage, the motor would not run. The disappointing part is that this unit worked initially and then failed after only a few days in service. For a deer feeder that is supposed to be left in the field and operate on a schedule, reliability is extremely important. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this unit due to the premature failure.

Set up is easy and it works great! I'll be getting one or two more in the near future.

This is the fourth one we purchased. Works great!
