There is no electrolysis with those two metals combined
in the atmosphere. Electrolysis only occurs in the presence
of an electrolyte. What little salt water that may splash
up on the stay does not get through the T-9 Boeshield
it is sprayed with from time to time.
For the toggle action to work the softer bronze is
necessary. Stainless on stainless would gall.
You should know that.

I'm a little puzzled by your back stay toggle. It seems to be bronze in
contact with stainless. This is a very bad metal combination for
electrolysis -which would occur with all the salt spray lashing over it
from your ocean voyaging. I recommend replacing the toggle with
stainless as well. Might save a catastrophic rig failure.
Cheers
