I used a 17' cable, that's what was already in it. I would think anything longer would be too long.

Just be glad it happened close to the dock. I had the same experience a few years back, but I was 12 miles out getting ready to fish a reef for some salmon. It was interesting to say the least getting back in. We made it by duct taping an oar to the motor cover and I had a buddy drive while I steered from the middle of the boat. It must have been quite the sight, but it worked.
