Has anyone ever put an electric winch on the cabin top for raising the main? I've seen several articles about replacing the gib winches with electric, but I could not find any on replacing the cabin top winch.

My first thought they are large and require heavy wiring and such.
I think I would look at one those battery powered winch handles. Very versatile and no installation headaches.

I bought a winchright ,It sets on top of winch and has 2 speeds works well but come to find out the prior owner who bought the boat new had too large diameter line installed. I can now pull the sail almost to the top by hand
