What do people use to stick into that little hole in the turnbuckle to keep it in place while the stays are tightened? Just wondering. Thanks.

I now notice someone just asked about this. Ice pick, small phillips head and preferably new turnbuckles.

Bronze, open-body turnbuckles are better for several reasons--visibility of the settings, easier adjustment, more secure locking (with cotter pins), no trapping of seawater, less chance of seizing... Actually, you can replace just the bodies, although the studs should have holes throught them for locking with cotter pins. I had closed-bodies on a previous boat--hated them.
