I am wanting to somehow use a cable or linkage to engage/disengage my winch from spool to freespool and back. I’m tired of having to stick my arm up to the bicep to get it into freespool and then back again. Has anyone done this or have any ideas?

I just ordered an inexpensive 36" Morse push/pull cable to play with and see if I can come up with anything. Ideas or previous success or failure input is highly welcomed.
