SEACHOICE winch cable 3/16 in x 25 ft — galvanized steel, 4,000 lb tensile with safety snap hook

Seachoice 3/16" x 25' steel winch cable with a galvanized safety snap hook provides 4,000 lb tensile strength for heavy-duty winching and towing tasks.

This heavy-duty winch cable is built for marine and trailer use where corrosion resistance and reliable strength matter. Made from 7x19 galvanized aircraft cable, the line balances flexibility and load-bearing capability while the matching galvanized safety hook offers additional security during connection. The cable is intended as an OEM-quality replacement or an upgrade for boaters, anglers, and utility trailer owners who need a compact, durable winch line.

How strong is this winch cable and safety hook?

The cable is rated for 4,000 pounds of tensile strength, suitable for a wide range of winching and pulling tasks. The included heavy-duty snap hook is galvanized and tested to a higher 7,000-pound capacity for connection reliability.

• 4,000 lb rated tensile strength for the cable
• 7,000 lb capacity on the galvanized safety snap hook
• 7x19 strand construction offers strength with improved flexibility
• Manufacturer part number: 50-51181 for easy replacement matching

Will this cable resist corrosion in marine environments?

The cable and hook are both galvanized to slow rust and corrosion when exposed to saltwater and humid conditions. Galvanization provides sacrificial protection, extending service life versus bare steel in coastal or trailer use.

• 7x19 galvanized aircraft cable resists rust
• Galvanized snap hook for matching corrosion protection
• Recommended rinsing after heavy salt exposure to prolong life
• Good for freshwater and moderate marine use with routine maintenance

How easy is it to handle and install this winch cable?

The 7x19 construction keeps the cable flexible enough for hand spooling on a winch drum and convenient routing through fairleads. At 25 feet long, it provides ample reach for common trailer and boat loading scenarios without unnecessary slack.

• 3/16" diameter fits many hand winches and drum sizes
• 25-foot length suitable for most trailer and dock setups
• Flexible 7x19 strand for easier spooling and less kinking
• Snap hook simplifies quick attachment and release

What should I consider for safe use and maintenance?

Use the cable within its rated limits and inspect it regularly for broken strands, corrosion, or hook wear. Replace the cable if you see damage; never exceed the rated capacity or use it as a lift sling where certified lifting gear is required.

• Inspect for frays, rust, or deformities before each use
• Avoid sharp bends and keep the cable properly spooled
• Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and lubricate lightly if needed
• Do not use for overhead lifting or beyond the rated 4,000 lb cable capacity
