is this winch water proof?

yes it is water proof but this motor does not last very long, in one year i when threw four of these motors before i when with a brush less motor

Not sure but you will need a mounting plate. The best advice I can give you is to spring for a better winch. Mine gave out the 3rd time I used it. The switch burned out under normal use

It is irrelevant most likely because your winch has extra room. It is the best strap for the money, cheap enough to buy one every year. If you use your boat as much as I do, you can go through a strap every two years easy.

no. not entirely. the esc and receiver are waterproof. not the motor. don't go submerging it

I would say that it is very water resistant - not water proof. I use my ATV to plow snow in my subdivision. The switch (which is mounted just below the handle bars and above the head lights), ATV and I get very wet from the snow that flies over the top of the snow blade. I have been removing snow using this switch for three seasons with no problems.

Yes it is water proof and weather proof. Great for an off road vehicle... :-)

Seems to be. I mounted it on my tractor a couple months ago and it has been rained on several times. No problems so far.

It's water resistant not water proof ... I wrap all the things in plastic bags ...I attach mine to the roof rack and it works fine and I haven't noticed any paint damage ... I'm so glad I bought it .... It comes in so handy when you need extra room and holds ALOT .... :)

The winch can be installed on any winch plate that has a 10 inch by 4.5 inch bolt pattern. Thank you!

Matt, I placed the box below by the winch on the Polaris. What it has in it isn't any different than what other winches have exposed. So water doesn't bother it. The only thing you should note is you need access to it if you want to turn it on and off with the red switch on the side. I by-passed the switch on mine because I didn't to bother with it getting turned off by mistake.

It should function on any winch, however a custom mount may be needed. In addition it needs the controller with the proper pin connection (warn 83665). As a suggestion call Warn directly they would know if it will mount up directly to your winch. They are very helpful to talk to.

I haven't opened mine up, but I do not believe it is water proof. As for rock crawling, I think if you double up this would be a great servo.I'm running a single on my e-maxx and it has taken some serious abuse, but I don't know if it has the torque to overcome scenarios that rock crawling would bring.

Fairly. Its water proof. I would not drive my truck over it. But I have one strapped to a home made sewer inspection camera and it still works after being pushed through water and poop.

In electrical theory, there is no reason it can't be.. It's just a simple toggle switch that is in the remote control. A common/ground switched remote system should work great with this winch. There is very little current on the ground side.. almost 30 amps on positive side under load. When I get time I'm planning on doing the same, It sucks you have 30ft of winch cable, and only about 12 of control cable... Warn should really the same winch with built in wireless control.

I use the winch that I bought for that purpose and it does not given me any problems but regarding its safety I think I am in no position to answer that .. Check the manual

should work just fine. My Winch had 2 gauge and there was plenty of room in the connectors. My only other feedback on this connector is that it's not a real tight connection so make sure you have slack in your line or it has the potential to disconnect.
