I just bought a 12 volt winch from Harbor Freight that came with 50" of
10 gauge wires: two that go to the winch and two that go to the
battery... all coming out of the hand control. I really need more like
16 feet of length to do what I want to do with it, which is to mount it
to my utility trailer and use it to pull my motorcycle up onto it.

As it is, it takes two of us to load it. I'd like to be able to do it
by myself, so I'll need to hang onto the bike at the same time as I work
the control. The utility trailer is 10' long with a loading ramp on the
back of it.

I was contemplating replacing the 10 gauge wire with 4 gauge wire. What
do you guys think?
