Power Winch

jasoncooperpcola Mj glad it worked! But for $10 more you can get a Smittybilt. Actually they are on sale for $100 at 4wheeldriveparts. I was thinking about using an atv winch but it would be gone as fast as i got out of sight.

They look good but I have a local Harbor freight store right here, and the warrantee I got is a no ?? asked replacement for 2 years, just walk in and out with new if anything goes wrong!

Another way for power that I use to do is carry one of them car battery jump starters, just plug in to the lighter and had power. But to get a good one I needed more money and that is in short supply here so I did a older Deep Cycle battery I had.
That battery pack was also a dream for my live well all day or to run my electric reels all day cod fishing!!
I am going to have to get a new one when $$ is better! But you need to get a good one as I have a cheap one that would not even jump start my truck.

MJ, that is a great set-up on your trailer.. really nice job. I love the PVC shield for the electrical wiring. My biggist concern would be someone taking my battery while I was out on the boat... but really, that's the first time I've seen an ATV winch used that way and it looks awesome!!!

Thanks Destroyer!
The battery has been there for a few years now, when I had the old winch, and now the new, and have never worried about it, and no one has ever messed with it, I guess I have been lucky!

The PVC is just two caps glued on with holes drilled for the battery cables, on top cap it is screwed on, so I can remove it if I need to fix something, and the holes for cables are siliconed to keep water out. The bottom cap is glued on and no silicone so if water was to get in, it could drain out.

Works for me.
