Jerry Persistence came with electric primary winches. These were Lewmar 43. The motors beneath the coamings were massive. Also servicing the winch required dropping the motor (did I mention they were very heavy and very large in very cramped spaces?). We removed these and replaced with regular Lewmar 40 (not motorized).
I am only mentioning this because I wanted to stress how much room you require beneath the winch for a motorized winch. In the case of a halyard winch I would imagine that this will take up cabin space and if on the mast may not even be possible.

Any ideas on whether it can be done beneath winch? I would like to motorize my halyard winch. New electric winches are astronomically priced.
