        <![CDATA[ Has anyone fitted an electric winch to the coachroof ( above the starboard rear cabin). We are finding hoisting the last few feet of our fully battened main
just a bit too much work now.

If so how much do they cost in the States ( Lewmar or Harken?).


Thanks for any feedback

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for all the info and comments I`ll post again when I decide which way to go -- I am tempted to get the drill even if I have to import from the States --
it`s probably about £300.00 sterling instead of £1800.00 !! ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
We bought our drill on Ebay for around $300. Just do a search on the internet for Milwaukee 3109-24 and I&#39;m sure you can find someone willing to ship to
the UK. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I thought about the angle drill business as well. However, it is just one more loose piece of stuff that needs to be stored, hauled out, recharged, etc.
<br>
<br>
If one&#39;s only interest is in saving money, then there are lots and lots of ways to do so. Let&#39;s see; how about doing away with instruments? Throw a few
chips in the water and time their movement. Use a lead line for depth measurement. Certainly a piece of magnetic tape on a stick can replace an expensive wind
instrument.... ]]></description>

I installed an electric Lewmar 40 this last winter, &amp; it has done a good job. Gene on Yorkshire Rose is absolutely correct when he writes that a two speed
electric 44 would be better. Size does matter (Ha Ha.) I did the installation myself, &amp; this saved a lot of money. The details of the installation are
archived in the old 42 website in 2005 &amp; 2006. Advice from members on this list proved invaluable. Yes, it&#39;s more costly than the 18v Milwaukee, but it

			<description><![CDATA[ we had a very good write up in the uk &quot;yachting monthly&quot; magazine on the right angle drill but unfortunately although we can buy some Milwaukee
products in the UK nobody imports the right angle drill.
<br>
I am seriously thinking of importing one from thre States as the price is v good and it obviously seems to work!.
<br>
can you tell me where you bought your please.?
<br>
<br>
thanks chris garraway

			<description><![CDATA[ Here is my solution to the problem vs electric winches. I took the money that it would take to buy an electric winch - bought a set of bar bells and the
Milwaukee portable drill, then with the money that I saved a bought a case of Brandy. I have yet had to use the electric drill to winch the mainsail out (I did
say out didn&#39;t I - yes the furling in mast mainsail helps), have easely managed that chore with the strenght I that working out with the bar bells has
given me. If my mucles spasm... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m using the earlier 18V Milwaukee right angle drill and winchbit. As Steve said, the drill takes the main all the way up multiple times between charges.
The drill also makes ALL of your winches &quot;electric&quot;. I won&#39;t go sailing without it! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Chris,
<br>
<br>
We had a Harken 44 installed when the boat was new. This winch is a heavy-duty two-speed unit, and it works great. I don&#39;t believe Lewmar made anything
quite comparable at that time. The cost was over $4000 in 1994. To install, a rectangular hole was cut in the inner liner in the starboard aft cabin (2 cabin
CL model). The winch motor is at right angles to the winch shaft, and it just fits above the inner liner. A snap-on white cover was added to hide the motor.
Looks... ]]></description>
