Check out this bad boy:

For way less money ($139) than a big Milwaukee drill, you can just use
this gear reducer.  It will turn at a speed that will not
overheat the winch and will not take much input torque being
50:1.  Output torque is over 1000 in lbs; if you need more than that
your winch is overloaded.

I am researching the shaft coupling problem now, before I decide
to actually purchase this gadget.  I'll also need to design
a stand to hold 50 lbs and resist the shaft torque.

They also have this cheap ($70) reversible motor that should be adequate:
