I would adjust the two legs tighter with the turnbuckles, so that you do not have to squeeze them so much with your tensioner to produce your desired tension. My split backstay on my 31 does not have the separate pulley based tensioner.View attachment 147550 View attachment 147552 View attachment 147553 I am replacing my old Bimini and Dodger. But my split backstay has slowly been creeping inward over the years. I need to try to figure out how to get it back in the center of the holes. I'll post a couple of pictures and see if they come through. Any ideas would be appreciated.
