I may mount it to the trailer but like the idea of just sitting it inside my enclosed pick up truck and bringing it into the garage and charging it when I do need to use it which will be a rare thing most likely, probably four or five times a year.
It has the connection type set up with the same plug on both ends using what appears to be a 10 gauge ground wire and a 8 gauge positive wire. It is about five feet long so I can put it anywhere in the back of my truck and hook it up.
One of the reasons I don't use a circuit breaker is exactly that. No one (except PowerWinch) seems to have them. I've found several different ones on eBay that are 50A.. but the 60's are elusive. I use 8 gauge AWG Powerforce Cable made by JSC Wire and Cable Co. It's super flexible which made it great for routing through a tiny hole in the inside of my Jeep



The 712, 712A and 912 all have that red stripe... it was a "best guess" on my part..lol FYI, that 912 is rated up to 11,500 lbs ...great winch.

If you need/want some of those grey Anderson connectors I can give you my source on eBay. He sells them in packs of 4 at half the price other sellers on eBay charge for one. I like them because once you wire them up it's impossible to hook them up backwards when making a connection, so you never have to worry about connecting positive to negative. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
