Hi Jim,
In order for the wire to unlay like that it will need to grow
shorter, pin-to-pin, a slight amount.
My forestay looked similar to that when I replaced the gang 5 years
ago. It had two broken strands hiding under a Harken Mark I furler.

Russ, I think the wire is just coming unlaid. Looks like it may have
been twisted against the lay somehow.
I'd still replace it.

Hi Dennis & Peter,
I would say when, not if, you replace that forestay. The gap showing
in the lay of the wire in this pic would lead me to inspect for a
broken strand (or two).

Peter,
What caused the damage to the top of the extrusion? Hard to tell
from the pic. Need to figure that out.

If you are replacing the forestay, you can do this when you drop
the unit for that. I'm assuming you're replacing it with another
swaged forestay or are you using a Norseman or NavTec compression
fitting? If a swaged eye, then you will have to disassemble the
furler completely. If you are going that way, just upgrade to the MKIV.
