Mines 17 Ft You Could Turn The Cable Differently In The Rear Corner And Differently Out Of The Box And It Should Fit Fine At 18 Ft

17' would be perfect.
Mine is 18', with the jackplates added 5" it works out great. The length will be stamped or stenciled in it about a foot or so from the end (don't remember which end).

was it hard to install by where it comes out of the back lining it up to fit it in the tube?

Depending on how much crap you got in your way usually dictates the stress level of removal and installation.
In some instances it's easier to remove the helm to replace the cable. For instance with the helm attached to the cable you can start from the front of the boat and push to the rear.

You have to unbolt it and remove screws, then you can slide over after you break the seal from the sealant they added for the screw holes.
You can jack up and slide over or you can lift up and slide over, depending what you have to work with. Some have been able to switch with out moving the motor but I say 90% have to.

If he's going to cut the old cable, then couldn't he just start the new cable from the back without having to move the motor? Just feed the cable through the gunnel until you're able to put the back end into the tube... Maybe I'm missing something...
