What size cable should I use to run a winch on a 4wd
I am going to fit a 12,000lb 4WD winch to my boat trailer and power it from the car batteries when retrieving the boat which weighs 4,500Lb. The Amp draw for the winch is:
Line Pull (lbs./ kg] Line Speed FPM(m/min) Motor (Amps)
0 33.3 ft (10.3m) 85
4000 (1814) 16.8ft (5.1m) 158
6000 (2722) 12.8ft (2.62m) 231
8000 (3629) 10.1ft (3.1m) 302
10000 (4536) 8.8ft (2.7 m) 371
12000 (5443) 7.6ft (2.3 m) 450
12300(5590) 0ft(0m) 200
What size cable should I use?
