For you guys running winches - did you install a battery disconnect? If not, any issues with phantom power draw?
From the ones I can find there were the junky looking generic knockoff ones being sold under 50 different brand names, and the ones that do list amperage list a value too low. For a decent quality one like the 350a constant one from Blue Seas, it's massive and doesn't fit under the hood unless I can come up with placement that will require lengthening line even more, and I don't want to add any more length.
Presumably there should be no power draw as long as I don't have the wireless dongle plugged in to the controller, so the only potential negative is if I take a good hit to the headlight area and the wire severs and arcs.
If you did install one under the hood, any pictures to share of the install and links to the product?
