Do you need to purchase a separate 12v battery or does this winch come powered ready to go?

Winch can be powered by the existing battery on the vehicle you are putting it on.

No, we purchased a small electric motor at Gander Mountain. You will need to buy the battery for the motor as well...

Yes, it's powered by a small battery and is sealed. It's a throw away item. I buy them from Rocks Auto Parts for about $ 47.00.

That is correct, 12v is required. You will also need space for the battery fairly close to the motor mount. Original leads from the motor are about 4'

Brian, it comes separate but is cheap and you might pick up an extra battery pack as well depending on your plans for using.

I would say the blue top deep cycle battery would work better for a winch application.

yes the battery works well for stuff like that runs my winch very easily i would just make sure your alternator is up to par ... i have a weak one so the winch still draws a lot from the battery but it still works despite weaker alternator my previous battery did not

I purchased a 2500lb atv winch from harbor freight for $59.00. I mounted it on the back of the rear rack of my quad. I removed the crank assembly and replaced with couple of small shackles. I attached the winch hook to the shackles. The winch came with a remote button so winch operation in and out is easy. It works great! John G

needs a 12v power source via vehicle battery or get a 12v adapter for the 12v source in you console to plug into.

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

The unit should work without battery, however it is rather exotic to be used just as a DC power supply, and it is a switching power supply, so the startup current of the lift may overload it. I would suggest adding a battery even just a small tractor battery to handle this. Also if you had a power failure, the lift would work as emergency backup

I ran mine from the battery so I can use winch w/o having ignition on or atv running.

I bought mine a year ago and have been using a standard 12 Volt battery in my boat. Never had a problem and it does it all. I use it to steer my ipilot troweling motor.

12v boat power from the battery. The transducer is powered from the unit. No separate power supply is needed. Milo Johnson

Requires a 12 volt external battery. A lawn and garden tractor battery would likely work in a kayak.

The winch comes with a heavy gauge set of battery leads, about 4-6 feet long, as well as the remote switch that has a 15-20 foot cable and plugs in on the winch itself. All the wiring to connect direct to a battery is included as long as your battery is relatively close.

This requires an external 12v power supply which isn't included. A decent supply can be found on Amazon by searching for B007TGO3HO. It's about $7.79 and should have plenty of capacity for your project. Happy automating :-)
