ATV winches not big in Aus like they are in the US. Dont know of anyone here that has one on there ATV.

Someone must though.

I agree Tonka, it appears to be related to the states....makes an interesting point though...when solenoids give up how many people check the ratings on the replacement they are using?...I have seen the end result on a few 4bies that have had incorrect solenoids or cables, was rather black!
