It is possible to replace the winch on your Viking Solutions Rack Jack II Hoist part # 310-VRJ001 with an ATV winch like part # CU122390. ATV winches are rated for horizontal pull not to lift or hoist however, I did contact ComeUp (one of our winch manufactures) and they said since all you are using it for is to lift a kayak you would be okay to mount it to the Rack Jack. Please keep in mind the ATV style winches are not made to lift so I would not lift anything heavier than your kayak with it attached to the Jack Rack.
