[Rhodes22-list] Covert Badlands 2500 Winch from remote to rocker switch?

Wed Jun 19 01:17:51 EDT 2019

Ok. Here's the updated version. Hank, double check me on this.

I thought I could get away with a SPDT switch but it has to be a DPDT to
keep the + and - separated. The 30 fuse (or breaker) is just shown for
illustration. An appropriate fuse or breaker should be placed where it
makes the most sense in the circuit.

I might also recommend a momentary type DPDT, sealed, marine rocker switch.
You probably already know this but, accidentally leaving the switch
activated after the cable has reached its limit could wreak havoc on your
lift system or burn up the winch drive.
A quick search on West Marine's site turned up a suitable switch (Part #147913)
 It's only water resistant so maybe a better mouse trap is available
somewhere else.
