Thinking about using a solenoid or relay to isolate my winch power when not in use (instead of using the isolation switch) so I can turn it on/off from my aux switches. Anyone have an idea to what my full load amps are on the Apex 12000# winch, and duty cycle would be? And what solenoid or relay would be best suited for it?

Not sure if that answers your question, but this is a video I found a few weeks ago of a guy who installed a winch with relay
