That would be my guess too, however, the material has no give. I broke it, winding the cable in. Poor design? Or just operator error? Thanks for responding.

I'm still a newbie with my 2021 Massimo T-Boss 410. I see there is a parts list on the Massimo site for the T-Boss 410, and another parts list for the T-Boss 410, before 2020. What changed for this model in 2020? Just curious. I can't find anything on the web.

I'm a newbie. While I'm testing out my new to me 2021 Massimo T-Boss 410 winch, I broke the Orange Ring that fits around the cable. I can't see much of a purpose for this ring, other than to be in the way, and to break. Is this ring really necessary? I did find it on the Massimo winch parts diagram, but I'm thinking, Meah? Am I wrong? (It's # 13 and 14 on the parts diagram, attached) Thanks.
