I have had the same problem too. That is closing and opening takes the forearms of Popeye. I think it has to do with the length and bend on the cable. This next season I will install a Barker Auto-Drain

It runs off the trailer's 12V system. Push a button and it opens/closes. No more cable.

Astrungis: Did you install the Baker Auto-drain? Is it way under your Monty? It's a bad time of year, but the manual valve has become unbearable on ours!!

On our 2015 3440RL after three visits under warranty, Montana paid to convert the cable system to straight rods. Never been better.
