    Winch Isolator

    Hi there guys,

    Just took the plunge and bought myself a 12000lb winch for the Defender. I would like to fit a Manual Isolator for obvious reasons. I have read in some threads that people have fitted them, they are apparently for trucks.

    Does anybody know where I can get hold of a Manuel Isolator capable of 500A?

    Cheers, Jurgens.

    Whilst I've heard the stories... I have yet to ever see a confirmed case of the act...

    Easier IMO to leave the positive off the battery until going on a trip if you are that worried...

    A good friend of mine has seen the result, so it's not total urban myth.

    If you isolate the earth wire to the solnoid pack it'll be much easier and then you can just use a little isolator switch on the dash.
