Always surprises me when someone posts a question and doesn't check for responses the same day. I guess some people's lives don't revolve around sailing... As we say down here, "Bless their hearts".

Well I joined SO forum 2 weeks ago and forgot my password on the 3rd post reply. My computer cleaned up cache and passwords. whoops!

Who knows if he's really gone? ... Boat hoist cable?

Why walk in the snow? Car stuck? Bet you wish you had a winch with the appropriate cable to pull it out.

When @capta went to school, cars were still drawn by horses.

Just checking in, the OP @johnCartelli hasn't checked in for over a week. Wonder how he's doing with his winch cable.

 

[johnCartelli]

Halyard winch or trailer winch?

swing keel winch...sorry got sidetracked here..presently there is a cable there but being an 1981 and having one let go on a Catalina 22 once i want to stay ahead of it

 

[dlochner]

Most likely 7x7 SS cable, it is very flexible.

 

[rgranger]

It could be the trailer winch cable????

If we are speculating, maybe a wench cable
