Does anyone know how to inspect and maintain these backstay adjusters which seem to have been pretty popular on 1970s Ericsons?
Also... are they safe or is it something I should consider removing?
I'm not sure how the tiller-equipped E27s have it, but the backstay on my (wheel equipped) E27 splits into two cables about 8 feet from the transom and they terminates opposite of each other on the corners of the transom. There's a backstay adjuster that consists of two pulleys a fixed width...
Curious if anyone has installed one of these on their E38?

Am thinking about doing so and am wondering if there are any lessons learned someone might have to share?
