changing manual tongue jack to electric

Perhaps there is a thread to how to do this and what wiring is required. I haven't been able to find it. Seems the bolt on the frame is straight forward but how does the wiring get routed?

Before you go to the expense and work to replace your manual jack with an electric one, consider the simple mod at the link below. This eliminates the need to feed 12 VDC battery power to the tongue.

No issues for me as to crank handle clearing tailgate...I'm looking to reduce physical effort of cranking up and down. I suppose one could use the bolt and head and then an electric drill same as am currently using for the stabilizers but I wonder about the strength of drill required.
