Winch cut of switch location? was created by S Mark

HI folks I have just fitted a new winch behind my standard front bumper and would like to fit a isolator/cut of switch and I am in some need for inspiration as to were to locate it. I like the idea of keeping the bumper a a quick release for play days. So should I take the easy option and put it under the bonnet? We're is yours located?

It is all fused but I wasn't shore if I needed the switch to be accessible from the outside in case the winch solenoid sticks on and it needs to be isolated. This happened to a friend he had no switch we had to pull the power cable off before the winch chewed itself up. Very scary at the time. :unsure:

That looks very smart, mine is operated wirelessly but my second battery is under the bonnet so in the hopefully unlikely event of a sticky solenoid would be a bit of a panic to get to it.
