We get lots of rain, snow, cold here. The original cables were plastic covered, which cracks with use. I'm convinced the failure of one cable was due to internal corrosion. I had new ones made, and grease them heavily.
Winter before last, this was the project "rod knockin" mini whale (Dakota) sat on the hoist most of the winter.
