Hi guys, buddy just picked up a used winch for his quad. I told him I have always just wired my hot (red) into my ignition and grounded to the frame (black). This way the winch will only work with the key in the on position. He said the guy he bought it from suggested to wire it direct to the battery. He also called his dealer and they suggested a 12volt celinoid(sp?) So now this not to mechanically inclined individual is lost. I said I would ask for info here to get a feeling what most do or suggest.

So what your thoughts on the above?

thank you.
