    I race IOM yachts and have used the continuous loop system and it works well the RMG Website from Australia gives guidance on setting up the winch system for their winches

    📝 Wiring Design for Model Boats

    In terms of the problem with wire wire corrosion in damp environments I have come across it in a number of situations usually low voltage in external computer projects.

    The method I have used to repair the wiring was to use white vinegar to clean off the corrosion in the area you wish to solder by soaking for about twenty minutes in the vinegar and then rinsing and drying. After resoldering the joint. The area of the insulation and joint sealed with adhesive lined heat shrink sleaving which is available from many suppliers like component shop.

    Hope this helps

    I use IOM yachts and I think the winch should be similar on your yacht. I am including a link to the winch type I have used as it has a diagram of the layout. In order to maintain tension on the winch drum you need to create a loop with a spring or elastic to maintain tension. The line to the jib and mainsail are connected to the loop. This the link
