Thanks guys, I will let you know what I find, was told the mega stereo guys use the heavy duty in lines for the moronski's that have the giant amps and speakers in the cars. Got one a few miles from me will try them. If no go will go with out. I can't see burning up 8 gauge wire with short bursts of battery power.

I have a power winch too....because I tow with either my truck or the family suv I've been too lazy (or cheap) to hardwire either one of them...I just carry the batteryin a plastic battery case with the cord and the hand crank and move it from vehicle to vehicle as needed...into the garage when it needs a charge....definitely considering mounting it to the trailer though in the near future...

Nope nothing on it, just clamp it right to the battery. I'm sure a fuse or something is the proper way to do it but I figure its only 8' of wire and I can see the winch and battery at the same time while using it...if the winch craps out and starts smoking itself or the wire I'll know it pretty quick....

Cool

I have two of those powerwinches. After several years of use the clutch? brake starts to slip and it won't lock in anymoore. Is it possible to rebuild them? The motors work fine, but I never got around to trying to fix them. Is it a complicated thing to rebuild the clutch parts?

Got mine apart today, its a T2400 and its the biggest gear in there looking at the cable, its the right side. 2 teeth broke off next to each other.
My camera is broke, going to use my daughters later to get a pic.

The blue wire (if I remember correctly) on the plug in mounted on the bumper is the hot wire, You can splice into the wire (on the trailer) using any kind of connector you want tieing it into the connection on the winch. That way you don't have to run a new wire from under the bumper.

Yup, got one. That's the gear that the gear connected directly to the output shaft of the motor drives. I have the older style (several thin gears laminated together, stronger, but more expensive to make, so they went to one piece gears) but I'm 99.44% certain it will fit right in. I'll dig it out and take a few pics tonight and send then to you so you can count teeth.
