show us your remote winch solenoid location

[04OFF]

Not true. Ive seen people stuck in all sorts of ridiculous situations. Mostly gutters

yeh, my mind is often stuck in the gutter

Daz I've got the runva 11xp setup and unit is identical to bachos.
Unsure if it's solid state or not.

In regards to voltage drop in my eyes it will happen.
Reading the specs of the winch and at stall you could be seeing 500A... And that won't go well over a few meters.
But in saying that it's either going to happen battery to solenoid or solenoid to winch.
I've already had a chat to mathew and he agrees an upgrade to 26mm would be ideal to compensate that drop.

So yea. In trying to fit that big ass hunk of crap under the hood.
Also it has the wireless option to so the module for that takes a bit of room.

I have mine mounted under the Radiator - on that pipe cross member.....
batt 1 to controller to winch
have the plug in my front bar
and the remote switch and line in / out on the dash.......

trying to see if I have pic's of it somewhere......

That winch should come with 25mm standard! Something wrong if it doesn't. I've upgraded my cables to 35mm welding flex

Yea it does. But was just making sure that the size could handle the load.
I'll only need 3m (2x1.5m) of new cable as the supplied power cable will do winch to solenoid and the old solenoid to winch will go to the battery side.
The negative is long enough supplied to reach back to the battery, all though they suggest earthing it threw the chassis.

My Ridge Ryder came with 35mm (2 gauge) cable and I changed it all to 50mm (0 gauge) and it drops to 11.5v even with high idle.

I upped mine to 70mm2. You even work in an electrical suppliers you get it cheaper than I do., if you are going to up grade it.. upgrade the shite out of it

[Pokey]

Same as mine Jff45. I upgraded the cable also. Only the battery to solenoid to change now. I'm hard wiring the wireless remote receiver to the solenoid next and will fill it with resin. I have a two way momentary switch beside the gear selector and an isolator under the steering wheel in case the momentary switch gets bumped. Also the 4 pin xlr chassis mount socket is mounted in cab. So at any time there are three ways to operate my winch. No way would I ever mount a solenoid on the bar or winch again. The corrosion and shit in it buggered it fairly quickly. If it does get wet in the engine bay it will dry quickly from engine heat.

Runva 11XP specs shows cables are already 32mm2

Well there ya go. Should be heaps.
Scrap the 26, I'll go 32
