Several Rhodies have fixed or replaced their winches and/or components.

I suggest that you start by taking a look at the archives, particularly the following threads:

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Trouble with remote control for outboard winch

Having trouble with remote that raises and lowers outboard. Changed batteries and sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't.
Emailed Stan and he suggested to either switch to a rocker type switch that mounts on the transom or replace the winch model with a better built brand that has the same footprint as the one that's there so no new holes to drill plus it comes standard with both a switch and a remote.
Stan doesn't know where to get these and suggested asking the list.
Thanks for your help
