Where have you guys with winches found to be the best place to mount the contactor and remote socket? I have a Warn 3.0 that I need to install with the Montana Jack's receiver system.
Thanks,
Greg

Underneath the seat by the spare tools. I put he remote socket in the black plastic piece that says honda on it.

I have the 2.5 winch and I mounted the contactor upside down underneath where the spare tools sit (under the left rear fender).

I ran the bolts from the top down, so only the bolt heads stick up where the tools are.

I mounted mine to the back side of the air box. Just unbolt the airbox and lift it up there is a lot of room behind it to run the wires. Just silicone the bolts when you are done to seal it up.

Thanks for the replies. I was leaning towards the area of the spare tools and just wanted other input. Any other thoughts on the remote socket location.

On the right front frame with u-bolts.

I put the remote in the forward trap door compartment. Just leave it plugged it all the time and open the door to use it.

I mounted the contactor on the frame under the black plastic behind the seat with some flatbar that I drilled to fit. Just sandwiched the frame with 4 bolts works great stays clean and dry most of the time.I put the remote socket in the plastic by the storage compartment.

I mounted mine under the handle bar on the yoke, this requires you to switch the power cables, the long cables contactor to the batteries instead of contactor to winch. I used colored tape on each end to get the cables right since you are changing all the cables. I did this with a warn 2.5. I used velcro and ties to snug the solenoid on the yoke. No problems and the solenoid is always clean.
