Hmmm. I don't know, but have you tried coiling your line into your
other hand? I suspect you're twisting the line as you coil it. You
could test this by throwing the tails out on the deck and running your
hands down them to take out the twists and then using the davits. If
you're problem gets much better or goes away then the coiling is your
problem. If not, beats me...
