I'm looking at swapping out my wire cable on my boat trailer electric winch with synthetic wire rope. I hear its lighter, same diameter can handle far more weight, and, most importantly, it doesn't build up kenetic energy which means no snap back if the cable breaks. It just drops to the ground.
Anybody out there ever swapped their wire cable out for Synthetic? I know its expensive, but, my fear is always having that cable break when it gets up to the end of the load cycle and having it hit me. This seems to be a solution to that risk.
