Winch power connection

[invisik]

Hi!

I have a Dutton-Lainson TW4000 power winch to pull my boat onto the trailer. Great product, BTW.

My problem is getting sufficient 12v power in the rear of the X. I now have to bring a separate car battery to just run the winch--which seems unnecessary.

I know there's a cigarette lighter plug in the rear of the X, but I need something beefier... the winch is rated at maximum 40amp draw. A truck of this caliber should have some heavier-duty connections. Are there any bigger 12v connection points in the rear?

Thanks for any thoughts...

The 12volt battery is smaller than a typical ICE battery. Not meant for heavy loads.

Maybe get creative and run it off the boat battery?
