So I want to put a switch on the hot lead to my winch so I can disconnect it when not needed.
What I'm thinking is: I have the fender mounted starter solenoid that is not used anymore since I went to a mini starter, I can run the hot lead to the winch to it, then put a switch in the cab hooked to the S terminal of the solenoid. When I want power to the winch I hit that switch, it closes the solenoid and voila' power to the winch.
My question: Is the starter solenoid robust enough to handle the constant duty cycle for winching?
