Yes, unless there is a short in the winch wiring, you can leave it hooked up. My older Mile Marker SEC 8 has an on/off switch mounted on the side but my newer Q11,000 does not. I leave both hooked up all the time with no problems. Now, I have heard a story where the solenoid shorted out and the winch wouldn't turn off. I'm planning on installing some kind of switch or easy to unhook cable connection on my Q11,000 for just this sort of emergency.
