hello all, I need my memory jogged.

I have a 12 volt light duty winch on my atv trailer. instead of wiring multiple switches and added wiring, I seem to remember there is a way to wire up a couple of 30/40 amp SPST relays to handle the operation of the motor (forward/reverse)instead of having to buy a winch contactor.

Full current draw for the winch is listed around 20 amps, which will burn up most switches over time if wired direct through the switches.

any help with with this relay wiring would be appreciated

thanks
