I contacted Superwinch for their thoughts on installing a Superwinch LT2000 ATV Winch such a long distance from the battery and they suggest using 6 gauge wire.

We have a winch wiring kit with 6 gauge wire, part # BDW20307, that is 10 feet long. We also have a part # BDW20026 that has 24 feet of 3 gauge wire.
