Thanks all, as always, good advice.

I did that on my boat and it helps. I’m using 3/8” endura braid for my halyards and have spin lock rope clutches. Also some of the less expensive rope clutches do not hold as well as the more expensive of the same brand. Mikel BrannonVirginia Lee 93295C&C 36 CBVirginia Beach, VA

New to the boat?B. If yes to the above, is it properly sized for the clutch?C. If old, is there visible wear on the cover or signs of non-recoverable compression where the clutch holds the rope? Try end for ending the halyard to move the wear area to a different spot. If wear seems excessive, replace the halyard before it comes apart under load.D. Are the clutch teeth worn? Depending on the brand of clutch, rebuild kits can be sourced. If nothing else has changed on the boat and the halyard has just started slipping, this is the usual culprit.

Thinking of adding another cover at the point where they pass through clutch. Any thoughts or solutions beyond replacing clutches or halyards. now I take to a cleat, but cumbersome as I have both on same side with a single winch and when remove from winch get a little slip before can cleat off..
