After refurbing my 8274, I've put it back in service with the original solenoid pack. I want to upgrade to the 200a continuous solenoids, but geez! The cheapest I can find them is $65, that's $260 for 4 solenoids -- more than I paid for the winch!

I have a local source that may be less I can check.
Winch looks nice, I have one I need to do.

:rofl:
$240US shipped here. Any wonder no one bought a $200 amp solenoid for that kind of money?

Hmmm..
$240 for a proprietary 200amp setup
$140 (or less) for a common style 400amp setup
Decisions decisions...
