Mac 22 Main Halyard block

[tim_kd7jz]

I want to replace the main halyard block on my early 80s Mac 22. It looks like a Harken 2644 is the right dimensions. What I am uncertain about is load ratings. The Harken block is rated max working load of 485 lbs with breaking load of 1620. That seems like it would be plenty but wonder if any of you are knowledgeable about what loads are to be expected?

It should do the trick. Harken is over engineered.

485# working load is more than adequate for a 22' boat. You should have no problem.
