Run a rag along its length. If it snags, you have broken strands, and one broken strand means others are on the way. Kinks, flat spots, rust bleeding out of the lay, or a hook that has opened up are all retire-it signs. Salt water accelerates every one of them.
It is quick and simple, and it can also work itself off the moment the line goes slack — which is exactly what happens when the boat comes home against the bumper. Keep tension on it, back it up with a separate bow strap, and check it before pulling away.
On most boat trailers, yes, with wraps left on the drum. Measure yours with the boat sitting home, and remember you want several wraps remaining so the load never pulls on the drum's end anchor. If your measurement is tight, take a longer cable rather than risking it.
