Looking for information on Where to place the switch, (not the one on the handle bar) I've got a Rincon 680 and it's a Warn winch Tryed under the seat but not enough room ? Thanks for your Help.

 

do you mean a power relay between the battery and winch? or the switch on a cord you can use while standing back from your atv?

 

Thanks for looking Yes Imean the relay between battery and winch How important is it to keep under cover?

 

If it is a fairly new warn (3 years old or so) they are water poof and I would reccomend placing it out in the open as it needs the outside air to help keep it cool under use!

I put my Warn winch on about a week or so ago and I put the relay in the compartment by the battery....although I have a 420 Rancher. I removed the plastic cover and mounted it directly to the metal bar that's inside the compartment.

i mounted mine to the roof of my rear tool box inside it, the winch does not get used much except in the winter and i don't think it will over heat when it is below freezing. I wanted to keep it enclosed. I bolted it right to the panel that the manual is supposed to go in.

 

You didn't give much in the way of specifics, so I guessed. Here are the 2008 Honda Rincon Warn 2500 install instructions.

It is a pdf format, just copy and past into your browser.

On page 3, it looks like they recommend mounting it in a similar spot to where I mounted the contacter box on my Rubicon. That is under the rear fender, mounted to the rear storage unit.


If I guessed wrong on the specifics, go here for more precise instructions...

On the Rincon, on the back of the airbox is a popular place to mount the contactor.
