[QUOTE="jethro, post: 437123, member: 12381"] Becasue in the event you winch it up under stress, like at a shallow ramp or something, a cable can bind into itself quite badly. I had it happen on a glass boat I used to own where the previous owner had used a cable in a pinch. Bad idea, especially for a heavy boat. It also has a memory and can be a coiled mess when you yank it out to retrieve the boat. A strap stays nice and flat and is easy to deal with. [/QUOTE]
