If you’re comfortable with a set of tools and basic electrical connections — if you handle your own car maintenance, for example — it shouldn’t be a problem at all. You’ll be making a few holes to fix the winch to the deck and connecting up to a 12-volt supply. The instructions aren’t always great, but you can usually find helpful videos online. That said, if you’re at all concerned, we’d suggest contacting a professional boat fitter. It shouldn’t be a very expensive job.
