My 2 cents: I don't think the 33 is a split backstay. The cost to split it and install new chain plates would probably exceed the cost of a hydraulic unit. With a masthead rig I would want more power than you can get with a manual adjuster. Joel 35/3 Annapolis On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 4:33 PM, Ke

If you race your boat you will find the mechanical back stay adjuster to be a complete PITA. I have a stainless steel Barient back stay adjuster (5/8" pins and uses a winch handle to adjust) that came with my boat back in 1975 to be used in case the original Meriman hydraulic adjusters failed. It

Hi all, I sent my navtec backstay for a rebuild at Southshore and it seems the over 25 years thing is dammaged (scratch on pump cylinder, not fixable, it still leaks). I'm looking at options and the two on the list are: replace it by the exact same thing (Navtec) or screw hydrolic and go wit
