300 RPM is too fast for the winch, and the winch will
overheat.  If you slow down the drill, then the little
fans inside do not provide adequate cooling for the
drill and the drill overheats.  That is the dilemma.

I ran across the DeWalt DWD460 drill. It draws 11 amps, and has continuously 
variable speeds in 2 ranges( 0 300 and 0 1300 RPM). Seems like that would get 
away from the overheating problem in the worm-gear winches.

Anyone use one?
