Oh but my winch isn't finished yet :angel:

As I said its only a story :p but even still I would think it's not a bad idea to isolate it.

A key type isolator seems the easiest way and I might fit one of the fuses too

Thanks for your help fellas

Aside from the idea of someone getting the chop, it seems far better reasons to have an isolating switch have been mentioned: protection of the batteries, protection against the risk of fire, that kind of thing. And of course, for it to act as a kill switch in an emergency.

I installed a 4 position marine switch and my mate installed a 2 position switch from traxide.
relays.
I put the 4 position switch in so that I can tie both batteries in case I have to jumps start, or I can supply winch from one or both batteries.
Mate reckons over kill he just put in the 2 position.
hope this helps
