You actually don’t need the solenoid because the winch control box contains one already. Simply wire the winch directly to the battery, a fuse isn’t needed because the winch is designed for high current. Then keep the rest of the wiring the same, with the on/off switch to power the momentary switch, and the momentary switch wired to the winch control box.

The solenoid is replacing the winch isolator though. This means that the active cable to the front of the car is not live until I switch it. I wanted to isolate the cable still but be able to do it from the cab without needing to pop the bonnet and turn on an isolator. My idea was to maintain the safety standards of the winch as installed to the instructions with the added simplicity of in cab controls 👍
