Riggers around here have told me 10-15 years in salt water (no longer than 15). When the furler covers up the turnbuckle and swage, they don't get the benefits of rain and other washing down. I think that's a good argument for starting with a new stay when you install the furler. Also, while I'm not familiar with the CDI installation, with metal foils made of sections riveted together, it's a project to thread the stay through the foil. Why go through that effort with anything other than a new stay so you won't have to do it again soon?
