Measure the lengh on the rod end from the old cable.The merc tooling is just a calibrated plastic insert. Most merc mechanics have several in there tool boxes. You may be able to borrow one locally.

There is another tool that its used to set the length for the barrel before drive is installed.

It is important to find exact center for neutral. Not sure how successful you will be.

You are good. As I'm reading the original post I'm thinking what you're posting!
I'd like to meet you in person someday. We're on the same wave length.

The way is to use the toll because it needs to be checked in foward gear,nutral, and reverse. Without the tool you're just wasting time and take a very big chance on damage the upper end include gears and shift fork.
