My Dad is thinking about an Electric Winch on his boat but we don't know if it will fit or on how much there cost...Dad is just we r just sick of going out under the hatch all the time...

You are going to be struggling, but it can be done.

Allow $1200 - $1500 for the winch

and about the same again to fit it.

Smaller boats really arent the easiest thing to set electric winches up on.

A lot cheaper and easier way will be to design an anchor system that can be pulled by hand, into the rear cockpit.

Another option is the "stress free" anchor winch drum that can be mounted inside the boat.
These are made in South Australia

This will show you how you will have to set yours up through the curved foredeck.

I do have some pics of one I fitted last week for a bloke, but this installation would be different to yours.

They are a very well made item.
