I have the same problem occasionally with my Xbow.
My depower straps end up twisted and do not operate particlarly well.
When this happens I usually end up parking the kite at 12:00 and manually untwist it.

It's a real pain.

I have a Crossbow 9M and had the same problem, I replaced the chicken loop with one that had a swivel on it (had to do a few mod's)and this solved the twisting all together

I wash my bar after every use and I have no rust well not that I can see.
I allways found power straps dont work well If you let all the salt cake and dry as well so thats also Why I wash it out in fresh water. I give it a really good go over
