what size boat?
if you keep that set up you will need tangs to disperse the load to more wood.
you could also go back to 'hounds' as you put it, without completely re rigging by laying strops over the hounds and shortening the cable to attach to those.
A lot more details than you gave are required to suggest a proper solution, or to determine if yours is acceptably done... got photos?
