I have a 3500lb winch. Do I need a circuit breaker to install it on my trailer? Also what amp breaker is needed?

You will need a circuit breaker to install your 3,500 lb winch. Without knowing the model or manufacturer of your winch I can not recommend one for you. If you still have the installation instructions for the winch or are able to track them down online the correct breaker information should be listed in there.
