Fitting an electric winch to a 655

[Bombastique]

Has anyone fitted an electric winch to a Merry Fisher 655?  If so can you let me know the best way or better still post photo's.

The one possibility may be to fit it in the chain locker and not on the deck as there seems to be too little room.

If no-one else has fitted one I will go to Beaulieu boat jumble this weekend and buy a last years model and shoe horn it in somehow copying the pictures on Google.
It is a 2007 boat but the copper bottom has now given up so the yard are doing that and also the cutlass bearing after 250 hours.
After those expenses I will try to keep the cheque book closed and just enjoy the boat.

For those penny pinchers amongst us. Did you know you can get all your old anodes gathered over the years from under the bench. Heat them up with your blow lamp and cast your own from the remains. This will save you pounds.
