Winches and water ?
I just ordered a Smitty xrc 8 with synthetic rope. After ordering I noticed the X20 series. Is my xrc gonna die if it gets wet? I know I've seem people have them under water . I did buy the cover but figured that was more for sun fading the rope. CaN I mount the controller under hood near firewall? thanksffirewall? Sorry

Do you type much?
Some winches aren't fans of operating under water..others don't seem to mind..I can't speak for the smittybilt.
If you plan on running it in water or with the winch buried in snow or mud you should have bought a thermometric winch.
