Bob,
Also the winches were not covered. Left in the open, I would do my yearly
maintenance and use rifle bore rage sprayed with the S00201 on the 3 ft. of
open cable from the winch drum to the dropped forged clevis… and no problem.
I bought mine from Granger

Wayne,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sprayon lube. Thats a pretty good
testimony for a cable lube after 30 years !
I looked it up and I may give it a try myself. Nothing against Pre-Lube but
sometimes its good to try alternate products.
I haven't put on my asbestos suit, I hope I don't get flamed now, hihi
Here's what I found on the Sprayon S00201:
