Question:
I have a hydraulic tilt trailer that has a electric Hydraulic unit on it and I want to add a winch to it, I was planning on running 4 gauge wires from the truck battery to the trailer battery using this 2 pole connector interested to get some feedback on this.

Helpful Expert Reply:
That would be a great idea. We don't carry 4 gauge wire, but the # PK12801 2-pole connector would work great for what you are trying to do. For the male connector you would want the part # PK12800.
The connectors are rated for up to 200 amps so you will need to make sure your winch doesn't draw more than that.
