Ayuh,... I would think you'd use the Same gauge wire as it is Now,...
Probably 12ga or 10ga...

Add the length where ever it's convienent...

Re: power winch

I have a smaller power winch, 712A- 3500 with the wire rope doubled. I used about 20 feet of #10 speaker cable with alligator clips. (speaker cable is color coded and siamese. I connect them right to the battery posts. The #10 only gets slightly warm during use. and only near the clips.
