Our club had a fly fly/annual picnic yesterday. We had installed dual
solenoids on our winches and one of the winches failed with almost
disastrous results. Both solenoids shorted out at the same time. The only
thing that saved us was our cutoff switch. I always thought the odds of
both solenoids failing at the time was very high, it's not, this was the
first time we used the winch. We used Cole Hersee 24059 solenoids. I
communicated with Tim McCann and will replace the solenoids with the Cole
Hersee 24037 solenoids he recommends. Tim says that the 24059s are rated at
84 amps while the 24037 is rated at 750 amps.
