Default Anything wrong with this battery wiring setup?

Peter Bennett wrote in
news.com:

The winch manufacturers sell special contactor packages for this
purpose.. I expect that these things are mechanically and/or
electrically interlocked so that they will not put a short across the
battery if you try to raise and lower the anchor simultaneously. Such
a situation _is_ possible if you aren't careful how you wire up
individual contactors.




I use a center off on-off-on toggle switch, myself. You can't press up and
down simultaneously that way....

While in Iran, I didn't have to press 1 for Farsi, either.
It just isn't fair.
