I think rule of thumb for hydraulic backstay is 500 to 600# at the dock and no
more than 25% breaking strength maximum when sailing. For my -10 rated for
10,000#, that's around 2500#. Probably much higher for your larger backstay.
Of course this is moot if your headstay isn't set properly.
Agree with Josh. Just tight enough so it doesn't move much if someone
grabs it.
The lens on the pressure gauge on mine is so discolored and crazed I can't
read the psi anyway. It's a $300 fix. I have a dinghy batten taped to it
with colored tape marks. Green (light breeze), yellow (moderate
I only do about 500 pounds sitting at the dock. I might go a little higher on
at a mooring just because the boat bounces around more.

It's almost irrelevant. I keep mine just more than slack so that if
someone uses it to support themselves it won't give too much.

Hi all,
We just had our backstay adjuster rebuilt and am wondering what PSI we should
keep it at while moored?
