I'm looking for suggestions on an electric winch. Cranking my brake winch is getting tedious. User information would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Kenny. Had not considered the 'brake' part of the winch in use now. May weld-on a big bolt or nut and then use my reversible drill to operate the existing winch.

btw: have a lone resident so far. I've been seeing 5 birds for a few days but the other 4 must be from nearby colonies. The resident had no problem negotiating the new Conley entrance on the house. Also added Conley tunnels on my Horz and SGs, but no residents for those yet.
