I have searched the threads quite a few times trying to figure out this question along with going through the owners manual and cant get a clear answer.

How much weight can a 2016 212x tower pull? I am a big fella, 6`7 240-250 depending on time of year. I pull on the tower pretty hard when I ski, surf, etc. How much weight can these towers really pull? My best friend, likely will be on the lake with me often, is 300 pounds and just a big agile guy.

So just curious, do I have anything to worry about?

Nothing to worry about.
 
When on the water, the boat will actually shift when pulling hard on the tower, and that give allows the tower to handle much more weight than if you'd pull on it from dry land.

I've had three people behind my tower - two adults and a kid, no issues.

Thank you, I know this is probably over thinking it but I dont want to learn the hard way
