Good catch. Better to find the faults now than later. Personally, I have found cracks on the radius of the (open style) turnbuckle bodies but not the swaged end terminals.

Preparing to raise mast and noticed cracks in my turnbuckle bolts but not the bodies.

Yes, I looked over the other hardware and didnt find anything, but these turnbuckles seem atrocious. Just wondering what other people have experienced.Im wondering if these are not original...Oh, and theres an Albin 36 trawler in this yard. Was talking to another trawler owner and he said many of the Albin trawlers were made in Taiwan (read .. questionable metalurgy)Sent from my iPhone

The quality of stainless steel has seemed to go downhill in the past 30 years. The replacement items of my standing rigging seem on the surface to be of lower quality than their 45 year old originals. The new items seem softer thereby rusting and gouging easier. I'm not a metallurgist but I am an aircraft mechanic, welder, and amateur machinist and have noticed the difference. From: "ground hog groundhogyh@...
