Re: WINCH WIRING QUICK CONNECT
I will second that. My Warn HS9000i's cables have been smoking hot
once. Hot enough to melt off/split the heat shrink. I'll bet I maxed
the amps out.
I would go with the Warn connectors to be sure they were rated properly.

Re: WINCH WIRING QUICK CONNECT
I have a Ramsey rep8000, I think I could pull my Wrangler up a tree
with this thing.
anyway I have setup the following which I have found works very well.
I used the Anderson powerpole 350a Connectors be sure to get all the
same color connectors.
http://store.solar-electric.com/sb-350-4-0.html
connected to cables like
http://traveloasis.com/jumpercables.html
and used
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...hidden%20hitch
for a mount.
I hard wired one of the connectors to the front bumper
Put 4 connectors on the jumper cables
What this gave me as a the best of all worlds.
I can jump a car from my jeep without opening the hood.
I can connect my wench directly to the front connector.
When I hook up to the back I use the jumper cable (extension)
I can put the wench on any anything with a 2 inch receiver and 12 volt
battery.
Since all my rigs have a 2 inch receiver, even my tractor. I have a lot
of pull outside the house.
with this thing.

Re: WINCH WIRING QUICK CONNECT
My suggestion would be to use the same kind of connectors used with a
snow plow. They are plenty heavy duty to handle the amperage, easily
connected and disconnected (push together and pull apart) and they are
"idiot proof". You would be unable to cross connect the wiring. Use
dielectric compound (electrical grease) and you should be good to go IMHO.
