Depending on the type of motor, it can be pretty easy. Have to bring some wires out of it and put them on a reversing switch.
I guess wrap the rope around it in the opposite direction?

Getting one to reverse means swapping fields. Not impossible, but kind of a hassle.

Our old My-Te had reverse, (https://myte.com/winch-hoist-models/product/300AB/?categories=3) I just thought it was a standard thing. It is really handy for lowering loads and getting them in just the right position. Our My-Te winch is 15 years old and has certainly paid for itself but it is due to be replaced. I would just get another My-Te but I would like a smidge more load capacity. What winch do you use?
