Hi All! I replaced my keel cable this weekend. It only lasted two years before failing. It looks like it might have gotten kinked, and then a strand broke. The wire cable is frustrating because if you loosen it too much, it "birds nests", plus the length of cable provided by CD results is some over lapping of the cable. This is common in winches, but it seems that it leads to kinking more often.
I replaced my halyards also over the weekend. I went with all line, Dyneema line.
I started thinking if Dyneema would work for my keel cable. It seems like it might. It will eliminate some of the problems of stainless steel rope. Have any of you tried it?
Here is a quick video I saw:
