Would Toggle Switch # PK34218 Be Rated to Turn On Winch

Will this toggle switch be sufficient to carry the amps for a winch on a Star Craft pop up using a 12 volt marine battery my toggle switch is failing when i raise or lower my pop up thanks.

I wish I could say yes, but winches can sometimes draw a considerable amount of amperage and this switch is only rated for 50 amps. Some winches can draw up to 200 amps.

What you can do is check the amperage draw rating for your winch and if it happens to be under 50 this # PK34218 would work.
