wiring a powered anchor

[captain of d boat]

Hello, I have a Powerwinch P10519 that i purchased used. There are only two wires attached to this one red and one black. I would like to set it up on a switch, I've tested it directly to the battery (red/red and blk/blk) and it works fine crossed the wires and again it worked fine (as in rewinding) but I have no idea on how to set it up on a switch which I purchased new (on-off-on) but somehow I just can't seem to find the right combination. I looked at a switch for a regular ATV winch and it only had black and red going in and out but i could not open it up to view the wiring schematics. Would anyone know how. Thanks in advance.

A picture would be better but here is as quick description.
Assuming the switch has 6 connectors on the back.
Batt POS goes to Center Left.
Batt NEG goes to Center Right.
Winch goes to the Bottom Two terminals.
Top Left Jumpers to Bottom Right.
Top Right Jumpers to Bottom Left. ...The Last Two Wires form an "X"

The Bottom Terminals will each have two wires on them.
If the Winch runs Backward of the expected direction, Reverse the Center Battery connections.

You need to install relays and a solenoid google this warn atv winch wiring and look at the images as a start. The relays and the solenoid are similar to the ones used on tilt and trim for many outboards. It will reverse the polarity to the winch motor.

I have a Sportfish 450 but they're close enough I'm sure. Here's the manual. Pay close attention to the wiring as the gauge requirements change...I don't use solenoids http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-48936341777063/powerwinch-sport-fish-450.pdf

I think this might be what you need...http://www.1728.org/dpdt.gif
