Hi Folks
I have just installed a small 12 volt winch on the chute rotator of my snow blower. Tested it with a battery and it seems to work well. Now I want to set it up to work from inside the cab.
Three questions:
1 - is there enough power in the Power Socket to do this - manual says it is a 10 A fuse and I cannot find any info on the draw from the winch.
2 - if there is enough power, where can I get an adapter to plug into the socket and splice to the wiring of the winch controls.
3 - if there is not enough power there, any suggestion on how I should set it up? I bought a cheap set of battery jumper cables (heavier wiring than the winch) thinking I might have to go directly from the battery, but thought the power socket might be simpler if it is strong enough.
Thanks for any comment.
P.S. - it does feel a bit strange asking a snowblower related question on one of the hottest afternoons of the summer.
