Thread: Winch Cables

Pretty sure I have this sorted. The positive wire from the battery goes into the control box in the top left hand corner of this photo. I have marking for the 'A' wire coming out of the control box, this goes to the end end of the winch motor. I also have marking for F-2 so that can go on as it is marked on the winch motor. So the last wire left in the control box is F-1 which goes to the motor. And the negative from the battery goes to the threaded hole in the bottom on the motor

yep. Spot on!!

When you wire it up and test it, put the winch in freespool, and drag out 20ft of cable. this will mean that if it does something odd you have time to stop it before it motors all the wire in and stalls!

Thanks mate

Greatly appreciate your help, I owe you a couple

At the moment there is no cable on it, Im having some new stuff made up later this week hopefully. Was tempted by Plasma but was told it wasnt suitable on low mount winches

No worries! Good luck!!

Pete.

Ill let you know how I get on once I get these battery cables

Once again thanks

Got it all working

Spent all morning stuffing around with it. Turned out one of the connections was loose so all fixed now. And got the new cable wound on

Thanks

Nice one.

Plasma is ok on low mounts. The main issue is if you are letting yourself down the internal brake can heat the drum up too much

Yeah the fella JC works with told me the same. Because the drum gets so hot. So I had new wire made up, cost me about $60 in total

Ill post a picture up when I get a chance
