Default Indicator cable lengths for a Cafe

got my dash pulled apart last night. it looks like the first cable is 22ft according to what i canmake out of the faded cable. Does this sound right? If so does anyone know how much longer the other cables are?

Anyone point me in the right direction for cables?

Thanks cigrocket. I did some additional measuring today and came up with this....

So - based on measurements I took today (working from right to left):

22' to Stbd Tab based on the marking on that cable.

The Drive was then 16 inches further to the left in the transom and the cable was 13" longer coming out of the transom so I'm thinking to add another 2' I guess.

Stbd Drive to Port drive was then an additional 19" (obviously same length cable).

Port Drive to Port tab was 16 inches further to the left in the transom but in this instance the cable is shorter than the drive cable by 13 inches. So.....

I think I'm going with:

22 ST TAB
24 ST Drive
26 PT Drive
27 PT TAB


I assume these are decent replacements? http://www.amazon.com/SeaStar-CCX633...+control+cable

Looks good based on placement and ratio. And I think you have a little margin of error built in, better to be safe then short
