I am adding a new Lewmar V2 windlass to my 300 Weekender. I don't like
the idea of the toggle switch being live all of the time, so I am
trying to come up with a way to only activate the windlass when I am
planning to use it. I am trying to decide if I should add a high
current switch on the hot power cable before the relay, or use a low
power switch to disable the relay control power. Any views?

Also on which side of the battery switch should I wire in the
windlass. My plan is directly to the battery (through fuse of course,
but bypassing the battery swtich) and use the mentioned switch to keep
it off most of the time.

Thx
