Yes and I would recommend a good service when you get
home.
We went through a long water crossing on the Balfour Track in Tasmania at Christmas and ours has already had a service.

Yes x 2
Not aways the best circumstances but modern
winches have sealed relays/switchgear and as PJR said a good service afterwards.

What sort of water, fresh clean water, brackish water, salt water or desert minerals water...
Electric
winches are poorly and cheaply designed and made. I have one, have had several, but the current one is 8 years old. I modded it, provided a breather system and sealed the motor unit.
