Yes, the toggles prevent any strain on the wires from unwanted directions.
The chainplate is a stainless steel strap, through-bolted on the transom at an angle which points toward the triangle plate...almost. The wire does not pull in a direction that is along the axis of the chainplate.
Three bolts attach the chainplate to the transom. With the direction of pull not being through the chainplate axis (these three bolts are on that axis), it seems this would put a rotational stress on the chainplate (and transom). That is what bothers me.
