Winch wiring under XT5

[Arminius]

The Dutton-Lainson boat trailer winch requires a 70 amp circuit directly from the battery. I did it myself after Mann Trailer backed out on account of "liability concerns." I used the supplied plate with two 35 amp breakers in parallel directly attached to the post, then ran the 8 gauge down behind the coolant sphere, following the flat bundled factory hydraulics on the driver's side back to behind the gas tank where there was a threaded 5/16" hole in the chassis to which I attached another (green) 8 gauge ground lead. I ran them both on the driver's side of the muffler, over the exhaust, and to a termination alongside the trailer hitch in a soldered Anderson connector.
