Solenoid Location for Winch

All,

I am putting a winch on my 1120D and looking for a good location for the solenoid.

In the battery compartment?

In with the fuses under the seat? if it's there it will be tight and have to mount sideways and the instructions want it upright.

your advice is appreciated.

I am sure I will have more questions as I add 2 light bars, windshield and a roof.

As close to the winch as possible, someplace where it won't be getting wet.
I like to spray all the connections with a battery post spray, and if you remember to
loosen and re-tighten all of them once a year just maybe you can stop the corrosion. I've always had a hard time keeping the hot wire at the winch from getting rusted tight. Then you take the winch apart :myopinion:

i agree. pot the solenoid on the winch and add a wireless remote. you will love it. don't forget to put a circuit breaker in the positive wire feeding the winch.
