how much current draw from a 10,000lb winch?

hey guys,


I've mounted a winch on my truck and it occurred to me that there is no fuse on the winch. I find this terrifying!!

I want to put a night switch as well as an inline fuse in front of the winch, trouble is I'm not sure how big of a fuse.


I actually only have a 5000 pounder on the truck right now but its temporary until i find something bigger for the right price.


There is also a 75 amp battery isolator on the truck right now, should i be getting a bigger one?

thanks,
spencer
