Boat Winch for Hanger?

Has anyone used a small trailer(boat, motorcycle, etc.) winch as a pawl'd hanging winch? I'm thinking about a 12V model something cheap from Northern Tool or local pawn shop haha. Any experiences with this set up would be appreciated. I can have the team build a winch using a spare Modulox transmission and a pulley. That may be overkill. Also thinking of using a motorcycle tie down as our "strap".

Any pearls would be appreciated. It's crunch time and the team just had another oh snap moment...they didn't CAD out their hanger.
