Power Winch



This shows some detail on the power winch modification.  I am using what turned out to be a windlass motor/gearbox.  To mate it up, I needed this coupler (dark piece at bottom), a spacer, not shown, and the light gray flange (between the bronze mount and the coupler) had to be drilled and tapped on a wider spacing.  That is all done and ready to mount.  The winch is installed but some fiberglass work needs to be done to seal off the mounting area. After that I can install the motor-gearbox, contactor relay, deck switch, 100 A breaker, and run the heavy cables to serve it.
