I have a Milwaukee right angle 24vdc drill with a winch chuck. Works well enough to lift a 200 Lbs person from the deck to the masthead on my 39TM twice before having to change the battery. However, you must use a 2 speed in low gear to make it work correctly
It doesn't work so hot when used to trim in a genoa.
