Default how are cables measured?

i need to order k plane indicator cables for a boat that never had them. when i order cables is it overall length, threaded end to threaded end or is it the length of the jacketed part of the cable? is there anything i need to do to prevent water from entering the cable? it seems to me its a place for water entry

I believe they are measured tip to tip . can you get the measurement off the old cables? (which should be about 1' from the end)

Mickey, the boat does not have original cable, as mentioned the boat didn’t have K planes before. 97fastech, that’s what I think I need. I will look at it in depth her in a little bit
