Keep in mind that you don't need to be at full load to stall the winch (max amp draw). You can stall it much easier if you have several wraps of rope on the drum. Just something to think about if you plan to never pull max rating. It can happen more than you expect.

Also for switches that include a warning about not being used on circuits with high in-rush current...That is taking into account that the switch will turn on the load. In this case, the switch will close on a dead circuit. It will not be live until the winch control is activated.
