The lifting boom on my boat is more robust than the Beneteau system, yet there is no way I would attempt that lift with it.
Putting on better blocks may help eliminate the noises that have alerted you to the overload, but won't reduce the overload.


The system is rated according to beneteau at 270 pounds. I figure there is some level of safety on that so 180 pounds would be well within the ability.
