Or additional cooling tips.Was thinking of those story`s one hears of guys stripping down their e-winchs after each adventure involving water/mud soakings.

I've tried waterproofing mine but water gets where water goes

Just have to service them sometimes :!:

What sort of winch are you running :?:

Decent seals for a start... and some positive air pressure - just a couple of psi from an air horn motor will do
