1+ on the Milwaukee right angle drill.
A local rigger who is up and down many masts many times has one and his assistant drives him skyward easily with it. Not cheap but definitely capable of many trips up the mast but much much cheaper than an electric winch and it is easily useable on any winch on board.

A friend with a Tartan 37 recently bought a Milwaukee 28V 1/2" right angle power drill and a hex driver to fit his winches; and he loves it. Cost something under $400 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-0721-21-28-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless/dp/B00 0FBLW24/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493168061&sr=8-2&keywords=Milwaukee+right+an gle+28V+drill I've used it to hoist someone up my mast to replace some lights, and it is slick.

I have used one to raise and then furl the main on a Beneteau 47 which had a Leisure Furl Coastal Plus furling boom. It worked fine and I was told it had enough capacity to do this again without recharging.

Any ideas on whether it can be done beneath winch? I would like to motorize my halyard winch. New electric winches are astronomically priced.
