If this is anything like the 115 it is likely already run to a winch as well. On the 115 I believe there is also the internal blocks and it is still run to a winch and difficult to tighten under load. Yes the winches are usually busy with other tasks but the outhaul does run to a cabin top winch on both the 115 and the C&C 99

So I was happily replacing 15 year old running rigging on my 121 today when I discovered the boat came with a 4:1 purchase tucked inside the boom for the outhaul. Who’d a thunk. Two questions for this knowledgeable group. Why in the world would I not rip this out a simply run a line from boom end to cabin top winch? As is, the outhaul runs from boom end, through the purchase system, through a sheave, through a turning block at the mast base, through a deck organizer and finally to a winch on the cabin top. They weren’t even particularly good blocks inside the mast. I would think any mechanical advantage would be lost to friction Perhaps it serves a purpose in that the line won’t jump when taken off the winch. There has to be a block tucked well into the boom attached at some point with, I would guess, a wire lead. How do you get to it?
