Electric Reels

We have a family fishing trip planned for next month on the Carolina Princess. Everyone should be in good shape to fish except for my dad. He’s in good health but has trouble with his hands. He is going to have trouble reeling. I thought that the boat had electric reels to rent but they don’t. The Continental Shelf boat that use to be there did. I don’t know of anywhere to rent something like that. My question is has anyone ever bought a kit and adapted one of there own Penn reels. I have a couple different Penns and there is a kit to make it electric but it’s kinda price. Anyone got any experience with these reels.

I'm no expert, but I think a lot of folks down here used electra-mates years ago. You might be able to find a used set-up on craigslist or marketplace.
