Yikes! Did it screw up your cable? That could've been horrible if it had grabbed something on the trail just right. I was going to ask if it was 4:21 pm but you said a dawn drive.

The switch... isn't it temporarily off/on?

To get it out long enough to drag, you'd have to hold it down?

You need a winch power switch...keeps from those accidental bumps.

Yes for right now I just have a simple lighted toggle with a cover in line with the winch rocker. Toggle on power to rocker.

You were trying to describe...bump
switch..which means..goes out...or brings in..
..as you bump the switch....correct.
mine don't do that..but my neighbors does...
only used once..2 half yrs ago..
so can't say if it was always that way...
or now it is..
just sayin

They are called momentary switches. I use one for my winch too. Just for safety though I use a winch power switch also. So I flip a power switch and then use the in/out switch. I guess the covered switch saves space though
