Steering cable help

[SkunkBoat]

wish I could help with the length but I don't know.

One note about the steering cable on my 84 cuddy. The steering cable did not exit the original hole in the motor well along with the wires and shift cables. the po had cut a hole way back against the transom. This made the cable go straight into the motor as opposed to the sharp angle it would have had thru the original hole. I can't even imagine the cable ever working out of the original hole.
Just wondering how your's is configured?
