What is the water proof rating on the Warn VR8000 winch? And how much will that rating matter if I have a winch cover kept on at all times except for when it will be in use?
Hello,
The Warn VR8000 does not have a waterproof IP rating so you would not want to submerge this winch. Do not direct high pressure water (pressure washers, car washes, etc.) directly between the drum support and drum flange or clutch lever. Use low pressure water and a soapy rag or sponge to clean the winch. You can keep the winch covered from the elements to help reduce the effects of rain etc. however be certain to never leave a damp cover on the winch for prolonged periods as trapped moisture can cause damage to the winch.
