The 2K capacity Mater Lock winch, # 2953AT, should be plenty strong enough for a small 1,000 pound fish house. If the winching distance is short or the house is on wheels or rollers are on the trailer it will not be an issue at all. If the winching distance is long, it is at a steep angle, or there is a lot of friction it will not be as easy for the winch but it can still handle it just fine.
The winch is going to pull 20 amps pulling its max so it would not be a bad idea to have the vehicle running while winching but it is not 100 percent necessary.
