I'd go for a strap--just be sure that it is the correct width to fit the
winch drum. It doesn't stretch and a twist is only a temporary problem.
When
the stitching goes rotten (after many years) replace it.

Thanks Jimbo.

Most people have suggested the strap and that is what I have purchased.

The only common recommendation was that I replace the strap every year to
prevent any mishaps.

Best regards
