Default Changing out the trim tab and drive cables scarab III 34'

Hey folks,
Finally getting ready for the season and of course noticed one of the trim tab indicators (mechanical) weren't working. So after taking a closer look at the tabs(Mercury Kplanes) cable was split at the transom and the sleeve that connects to the tab was bent. I figure I may as well change them all out. Cables don't have serials or model numbers on them. Does anybody have specs on the cable length for the tabs? And recommendations on premium cables?
Thanks

The cable numbers should be on the indicator end. Under the dash. I just ordered some from Mavic Marine. Good Luck!
