brikk, just to clarify, the LARS has a winch as a component and is not the winch itself, per se. This is an example from a crane based LARS that Saab SeaEye (with which Mako is a partner) makes.
http://www.seaeye.com/larscrane.html
"The Launch and Recovery System (LARS) comprises:

* Water filled 'Gravity Base' skid with fill and drain points
* Protection frame
* Lifting slings and spreader bar
* Articulated marine crane,
* Umbilical winch with level wind
* Electro hydraulic power pack (HPU)
* Umbilical sheave
* Lock latch assembly with hand pump or remote hydraulic release mechanism
* Rotary and Stationary Junction Boxes
* Slip Ring"
