Here is some outhaul info from 2004 from a portion of the old site that was lost. I did this to my CP 22, and so far, I really like it. Although the original poster calls it a 8:1 set up, it is actually only a 4:1 setup - it lacks the extra block that the 8:1 Catalina Direct package has. The only "non-stadard" piece of hardware is the Harken block that has the loop turned 90 degrees from the pulley shaft. This offset makes the whole thing work - it eliminates any line interference between the running part of the rigging.
The schematic the OP talks about and a picture of the 90-degree block are in the attachment.

Outhaul Upgrade
by Reverand » Thu Sep 02, 2004 1:00 pm
Last winter, three of us replaced our original outhauls with new blocks and lines. We modeled the upgrade on a successful conversion pioneered by Madcap, hull #5. The attached diagram by Jamie depicts the new schematic.
For hardware, we used the following:
Qty Description Item # Size
1 Harken 29mm Carbo Block - 90° Loop Single H352
1 Harken 40mm Carbo Fiddle H2655
8 Amsteel 12 - Red SMS12 1/8"
24 Amsteel 12 - Red SMS12 3/16"
2 Heavy-Duty SS Thimbles LSEY185 3/16"
The part numbers are those out of the APS catalog (http://www.apsltd.com) You can substitute 3/16” line for the 1/8”. This will make the splicing easier. When finished with the assembly, don’t worry about the extra line, easier to flub a couple splices, cut off and try again, than run short.
The hardest part is replacing the Boom Pin. For this little operation, I took two ¼” dowels, wrapping a rubber band about 12” from the end. Using the dowels like chopsticks, I was able firmly hold the Harken 29mm 90 degree block (with splice). We then placed the boom on its side between two sawhorses. Shining a light from below, you can then gently slide the chopsticks into the boom, line up the hole with the block, and drop in the Boom Pin. The chopsticks will then easily slide off the Harken block.
Including disassembly, splice time, and re-assembly, we averaged about an hour per boom for the upgrade at our little Boom Party.
