Synthetic which rope

(1/1)

JustaFordGuy:
Anyone else running synthetic rope on their winch? I just switched. I haven't used it yet but it sure was easier to handle while spooling it up.

lonesouth:
I've thought about it for the weight savings and ease of use, but no more often than I use my winch, I feel the money would be better spent elsewhere.  Since the synthetic rope degrades over time, I'd likely replace it due to age and never due to use.

JustaFordGuy:
I wonder if there is a UV protectant that could be sprayed on it to make it last longer? Maybe 303 AeroSpace? It's good stuff, I use it on my RV. I would need to make sure it doesn't hurt the rope fibers.

lonesouth:
I imagine running a winch cover would go a long way.
