Where can I go to find out the shroud/backstay/forestay lengths for a 95 250 WB? My owners manual says a backstay is 26 feet long. Since the mast looks to be 27 feet or so, that's a little hard to believe. Thanks

John, I just opened my 95 owners manual and I believe that the backstay length shown is yes, 26ft plus/minus 1/4, however I think you have to add the length of the backstay bridles to that number which comes out to about 33ft. Check it out. C250WB #089

I don't have a bridle. I have one piece of wire that goes from the top of the mast to just behind the port rear-most stanchion.
