winch cut out switch

<< < (2/2)

lee celtic:
Be carfull that all power to the winch can be cut off as we had a spate of cars being pastied a while back...

Winch cable over roof hooked to tow hitch then the winch shorted  :( turns your pride and joy into a pasty shape...

Range Rover Blues:
Perhaps worth a padlock through the rope gimble to the recovery eye then.

Thats a decent idea Ron  :D
I'll still go for the internal isolator though, better safe than sorry.
I want to be able to complety kill the winch so that it cant be tampered with  ;)

Hows this for another reason for the outside cut-off...... i wanted mine within reach of whomever might be stood in front of the truck, as the driver can't always see whats going on, with the cut-off in reach should an accident happen, the power can very quickly be isolated....... hopefully it will never happen, but i'd rather have fingers than an out of reach cut-off......
