Agreed.  On mine, since I have 125' from the shack to the tower and another 50' up the tower, I moved the capacitor to a breakout box at the base of the tower.  Now I only need a 6-conductor cable from the shack, or using an 8-conductor cable, I can double the motor drive wires.

The first thing I would do is replace the start Cap in the controller, they
are a common failure point.
