In our 2008 370 the cockpit winches are connected to the windlass batteries.
The circuit breakers/auto-fuses are in back of starboard aft cabin

The two haleyard winches are non-electric on our boat.

Thank you for your response

Are you running your windlass & winches off a deep cycle battery??

I am working with Ocean Planet on a power configuration and they recommended to you a combination battery NOT a deep cycle.

I have 2x105ah leadAcid. They are  old, but they are not drained much. 
Will add battery monitor for those batteries this year.
They power the 3000w thruster so high cranking power is needed. Think that is why I have 2.

On my 2008 model the electric halyard winch is on the house batteries.  Subsequent to delivery I modified the electric windlass battery to be part of the house bank.  The engine on relay is still in place so I can't see any issues with excessive draining, but it does give quite a few usable added Ah to the boat

I have now installed a battery monitor for the two windlass/winches batteries.
They are not used very much. But the cranking power needed is surprisingly high. When I tried the 3000w thruster I saw 425A for a brief moment. A bit strange because the large fuse is 200A
I would like to change the 2x105ah (50kg in total) to lipofe4 and let them join the house battery bank. But with these currents I think I will keep the setup because high cranking Lipofe4 are a bit more espensive than the 3 lipofe4 100AH (max 100A CCA) I have now.
