So you have the same single-wire to single-rope system as we have on our 35. You could put a block system inside the boom to make it easier, although harder to clean and maintain, put a small block on the outhaul shackle at the clew and double the purchase, or do like I did and run the outhaul line back to a winch. Adjusting it by hand is pretty useless. I don't find it difficult to clean the in-boom stuff, I just tape a messenger line to the end of the outhaul line going into the boom, and drag the whole works out the aft end of the boom. Use the messenger to rerun it once it's clean.
