Isolator on dash somewhere where it cannot be easily knocked (and winch powered up without realizing) and in/out switch on console. If things are hairy don't want the switches next to each other, and in haste press the wrong one!
Consider a wireless remote. If caught out on your own can spool out while dragging winch line to point of attachment and winch back in to take up slack ensuring straps, protectors etc position themselves as intended, before doing the actual recovery.
