<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> I found circuit breakers at the local marine store but the highest rated breaker is 150 amps. Does anyone know if this would be sufficient or will it trip whenever I use the winch?

Not big enough. Most winches will draw in excess of 400amps @ full load. 400 amps will melt the terminal out of a side post battery if left for very long. I never have seen an automotive breaker bigger than 150amps although there may be some.
