I know little about 12 Volt D.C. and less about electric winches. But, I want to mount a winch on my car hauler trailer and i have this Superwinch 3,500 lb new in box that has been sitting on a shelf in my shop since 1999.
So, if I mount the winch on the trailer and run two long jumpers to the battery in the truck will that work without burning up the winch? I have no idea if voltage drop is an issue with 12 Volt D.C. and winches. The install manual says there needs to be a battery within five feet of their winch. So how come?
Sorry if this elementary, but, well you know and I don't.
