Electric whinch installation

[labestia]

Hello:

I’m considering the installation of an electric winch to help raise the main on out future boat. When I examine the ceiling of the port side cabin it’s obvious that if the installation could be done, the winch motor will be exposed.

Can this be done?

Is there any way to conceal the motor?

Build a teak box to enclose it?

You can also buy an 18 volt rite angle power drill and a special bit that fits the winch to have powered winching when needed
