Hey Guys,
I just purchased a bull dog winch mount for the KQ, and I am in the process of selecting a winch. Have been searching the forum, and do not see any threads on wiring/mounting the Solenoid. I plan on wiring the winch to the free orange wire that is part of the ignition harness ( I am going to use this for my fan too.) Any one have any reservations with using that, and creating a jumper from the ignitron ground?
The second part of this is where to mount the solenoid. I know there is no room under the front plastics as I had them off a few weeks ago to replace the rectifier. It's tighter than a nuns c$%t under there. I saw one youtuber mount it in front of the engine. He had it in a water proof box, and attached it to the grate right under the fuel tank, but lower like on top of the prop shaft. I plan on putting my fan there so that won't work for me. Any pictures/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has used the bull dog winch mount, tell me what you think of it.
Best,
AA
