fitting electric winch to cub drifter 6

Hi all

Am in the final stages of modifyng my cub drifta 6 (1984 model) and I need to move the hand winch that lifts the roof.

Looking at it and knowing I can buy a 2000lb winch for $80 similar to this:

what would be the cons to using it to lift the lid.

Pros: 1. can mount it out of the way and dont need room to swing the handle
2. lazy :-)
Cons: 1. Need to wire it to the van battery so uses some power to put up
2. What do I do if it stops working?
3. Probably should wire in a limit switch to ensure that nobody winds it up too far

What do you think??? Am I dreaming?

Thanks in advance
