Re: WINCH WIRING QUICK CONNECT
That just means you found a bad connection at the alternator. The bad
connection arced causing the localized heat.

Seconded. Powerpole connectors are the way to go. Pick the size you
need for your amperage, spend the money and just do it. I don't
remember seeing the big ones at powerwerx, but I've purchased powerpoles
online from at least one of the normal industrial supply places --
grainger, mcmaster-carr, mcm electronics, etc.
