Something else?
Hello,
This might be something other than the "coffee staining" we spoke of in the previous posts. Is this definitely a swage, or is it a mechanical terminal, lime a Sta-Lok? If the latter, too little and/or the wrong type of sealant might have resulted in internal corrosion, and you are seeing the byproduct. Unsealed swages can also corrode internally, though I expect you'd then be seeing corrosion on other rigging pieces. Something must be different about this piece... the only other thing I can think of is that the wire used here is different from all the other wires, less corrosion-resistant. Can you post a picture?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
