The manual says it uses 200 ft of 5/8 inch cable. That must be good for
35K lbs at least. I don't know how I could generate a 35K lb pull so
I'm considering using 1/2" cable which is good for about a 27K lb
Breaking strength.
My question is should I go the few extra bucks and get galvanized cable
or not? What does the military use and how do they maintain it?
If I buy plain steel cable I have to believe it is going to get very
dirty, accumulate moisture and rust. But galvanized cable is almost
twice the price of ungalvanized cable.
Any tips on cable maintenance? I suppose I could hook a piece of canvas
around the winch drum when I wasn't using the winch to try and keep the
water off of it.
