Probably not
Hello,
Remember, a proper tuning load is the same, or nearly so, as the load that the stay experiences under way. So if the wire is the right size, and the loading numbers are right, and the tune is right, then you are not imposing anything that the boat shouldn't be capable of handling. So if the backstay is deforming the transom, something is very wrong with that transom. What is the structure?
Fair leads,
