I'm looking for a little help with the electrical side to building a wakeboard winch. I have built gas winches before. A wakeboard winch pulls a rider at the same speed as a boat would only you have the freedom of putting this small machine anywhere there is a little bit of water to wakeboard in. It brings wakeboarding closer to skateboarding in that scence.

I am looking to make them lighter and in a backpackable form using electric motors instead of gas and either batteries or solar panels.
Any ideas and help would be great.
Can you run a 5hp electric motor off of a motorcycle sized battery? or smaller.
Also can you add two electric motors (say 2hp each ) to get 4hp?
Thanks,
Matt
