Hi On my LCM I used tank gearboxes to operate the ramp one on each side if you use thee plastic gearboxes they have a clutch so they go till the clutch operates ,just super glue a cotton reel to drive shaft to wind up the rope. My ramp is solid brass so weighs more than most ramps .

That sounds like a good system, How do you get the power that far along the hull?
