    Nah you're not. The new winch cables are unprotected. It's the old cable going through the 70A breaker, the large cable would have been used to prevent voltage drop rather than carry a large load.

    Nah mate. That’s the old winch cable going via the breaker for something else now.

    Not really sure what your aiming at there bud with that. Lol. But no it runs over to the aux batt side as I found with the ARB twin compressor wired into the aux battery the compressor was running slower even with engine running, the voltage would drop when running. Wired to the cranker the compressor ran a little faster and the voltage wouldn’t drop as much. Thinking the Ctek dc-dc charger was favouring the aux battery.

    Finally finished the high mount. With many thanks to all who helped. Wound the rope on today. Probably could have gone a longer rope though.

    That's a good amount, I wouldn't go a lot more than that. When you are doing a perfect controlled straight pull maybe but when does that ever happen?
    Always underspool the winch drum for off centre winching, the tree is never directly in front and your rope will bunch to one side.
