Hunter 460 electric halyard winch fitting

[jimali]

Hi

We are converting one of our halyard winches to electric. Had fun running the cables. New winch mounted.

We now have to cut the inner moulding to accept a large and heavy motor. A few questions;

Has anyone done this if so how much did you need to cut away - any photos?

How did you tidy up afterwards- did you construct some form of box to cover the motor.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi thanks

I have searched but cannot find anything specific on a 460 especially modifying the inner moulding.

Perhaps it is my poor computer abilities

Regards

Jim

Avoid H460 specific searches.
Many have trimmed out the motor with teak wood boxes.
My H430 was OEM built in and has an access panel to service.

Attached are a few photos of the underside of the coachroof with the electric wench still mounted in place. Maybe these will help.

Maybe these will help.

What might help is a picture of the cover.
That looks like my set up, but the cover was OEM.

They look great. How did you end up covering the hole
