Wanted to pass along a thanks for the advice to you and everyone else that helped out. The other issue I had to resolve was that someone had put a bolt in the davit end pulley that was not stainless steel, and had to be drilled out. Once I did that I was able to clean the pulley, thread the new Dyneema cable (I bought one with a shroud on the end that works beautifully to protect from the sun) and we're good to go... Well, we don't have a dinghy yet but small steps.
