You have other options as well if you are using sailing line for your winch. There are a whole host of rope clutches by different manufacturers that can be actuated pneumatically with little force. That's how we did it in 2010.

900 also uses a customized Modulux Gearbox with a shift-to-nuetral. With the forces at play, we had to get creative with shifting the dog gear, but it has worked quite well.
