Spooled up the 150' 5/16 that came on the winch when purchased, I swapped ends and cut off about 6' to remove a kink and frayed area. Been researching a heavy duty continous duty solenoid to replace the blade switch that powers the winch through the 3rd push pull cable. I ordered a 500 amp NVX solenoid and went to Napa for the other two control cables and a push button switch to power the switch when needed. Still need the battery cables to supply power, going to use 2/0 sized cables. Winch operates great with only a jumper cable installed on motor to spool the cable.
