Shut Off Switch to Use with Bulldog Winch BDW10030

Question

Question:

I am planning on purchasing a Bulldog 10030 winch shortly and want a recommendation on which shutoff switch so I can completely isolate the winch from my battery when not in use do you recommend for this winch? I see several models listed on your site, each with specific amperage ratings and just want to make sure I purchase the correct one. Thank you!

For a shut off switch with the Bulldog Winch part # BDW10030 I'd recommend the switch part # BDW20248 which is rated for 500 amps and is very easy to use. This is a cheap insurance policy for your winch wiring so it would be a really great addition. I attached a review video for it for more info as well.

Yes, the Warn M8000 Winch uses a 10" x 4-1/2" mounting pattern which the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate part #C31010 will accept so they can be used together just fine. The 10" x 4-1/2" mounting…
