Has anybody fitted one of these http://www.winchsolutions.co.uk/index.asp?action=showproduct&id={1A020302-3393-4D7B-8759-AA8075B517AD} to a champion winch?

If so do you have a wiring diagram please?

thanks in advance

Hi,
Dont want to teach anyone to suck eggs, so please forgive me if you know or was going to anyway but its a good idea to fit an isolator and a fuse in the system.
Ive also fused the +ve feed to the winch controller as well.
I didn't when I fitted mine originally, just threw it all in quickly thinking I would get round to fitting an isolator and a fuse.
I also fitted a rather trendy wireless control thingy off Ebay, which has to be said worked really well, that is until whilst jet washing the engine one day I noticed that my winch bumper was all bent out of shape, didn't remember hitting anything then realized that the winch had actually turned itself on and was pulling the bejeezus out of itself and the bumper it was attached too......
by the time I had worked out what was going on and stopped it I had burnt out my winch motor........
so morals are...
1. Dont jet wash radio controlled winch systems until you have waterproofed them properly.
2. Fit an isolator for the winch (pref with a fuse or circuit breaker).
3. Fit a small fuse in the supply to whatever winch controller you have fitted.

just thought I would share my embarrassment with the club.....
