Hi, I am new to the forum.

I have a 2004 Yamaka Kodiak 450 4X4. I just ordered a Mile Marker 2500 winch (first winch and all I can afford right now). It has a connection for a remote switch with an 8' foot extension cord. I would like to put a Momentary On/OFF/Momentary On rocker switch on the fender area just below the shifter.

My problem is that I am inexperienced in winches and things electrical. (I know just enough to be dangerous).

First question:

Am I buying a Single Pole/Single Throw (SPST) rocker switch or a Double Pole/Double Throw rocker switch? And Why?

Second question:

Based on the answer to question #1, where exactly does each wire go? I believe the SPST switch has three connections and the DPDT has six connections.

The simpler the explanation the better (Tab A into Slot B kind of simple).

Also, Is there anyplace I can put the solenoid safely (and easily) except in the storage box under the seat. I really don't want to give up the storage space.

Your kindness will be appreciated.
