I had mine rebuilt twice in two years, the second time seems to have worked (for a year anyway). But if it goes again I'm just going to get a short piece of stay and a turnbuckle. As a non-racing type (usually) I do not adjust the backstay anyway (usually).
You might try Southshore yachts, but with the age of the unit they may not want to touch it. I used a local hydraulics shop, the seals are generic stuff so they can do it - just make sure they replace all the seals, my first experience was that they only replaced what had obviously gone - but all the seals are the same age so another went shortly after the first rebuild.

I was out today and notic3d the fore stay kept sagging. I would pump the adjuster to tension it and in a few minutes it would release. I suspect this is original equipment on a 30 year old boat. I am wondering if others with this vintage boat have experienced this and if there is a fix? I am in Sarnia Ontario. Are there any repair depots in Ontario I can talk to? If you replaced the adjuster, what did you buy? Has anyone tried to replace with a couple of Harken blocks? As always, thanks for any response.
