Keith,
As Greg said, the 18" stopper knot should help eliminate this problem
because the halyard never gets pulled inside of the throat. The retrieval
line
should have a cover if it is tapered like the manual shows and if the cover is
the recommended one (Samson), it should not be doing a lot of damage assuming
again that you have the stopper knot to keep it from bunching up in the sock.
I do occasionally see some grooves and I try to fix them before they get
serious.
It may be a good idea to use hybrid in the future since it is much more
abrasion resistant.
