I want to mount an on/off switch for my Warn 9000 winch.
I think it draws up to 498 amps.

Any ideas on good switches?

Thanks.
 
If that's what the winch is rated at for full load and you anticipate you will be winching at full load then yes.
 
I bought a cheepo one and its bin fine for years

And both front and back get a lot of use

I use a marine bluesea one. Works great. I believe its 350a continuous which is plenty.

I struggled to find a 500a continuous switch and the size of wiring required was massive; and bigger than the wire supplied with the winch! Remember that the winch will only be pulling its rated load when its at absolute full chat which wont be for very long. The blue sea one i use is rated for 1000a upto 1 minute.
