i9t should be written on the cable somewhere, usually in inches. Most often its located in the hardest to read place it could be, normally scraped half off

Pull the old one and measure. Also it's a whole lot better to be too long than short, ask how I know. If you are even close to between sizes go up a foot.

Telflex says there a number on the motor end on plastic, the last 2 numbers on model number is how many feet, it the number is worn off the say measure the plastic only!! then add 18 inches and round off to the nearest foot. Or measure center of helm to gunnle then to transom then tothe center of motor then add 6 inches

The reason I would like to know what size you guys put on your wellcraft is because when I replaced mine the last time it seamed kind of long so I'm thinking the shorter the better as long as it fits, less drag in the tube sleeve
