I'm told it's the commonest reason for an RCR call out. Our cables
have done 7000 hours apiece. It seems to be like drive belts, there's
no fixed schedule for replacement, and it's even harder to check for
wear.
I reckon all you can do is carry spares, and maybe change old cables
before critical expeditions like the Bristol Channel.
All the best
