Hello all, first post!!

I need some help regarding throttle cable length. I have a 1996 Proline 231 WA with a Mercruiser 5.7 I/O. I need to determine the exact length of the throttle/shift cables to make sure they are correct. I have some issues with the cables, looks like they got bent when they were pulled aside to make a cut on the fiberglass. I'm planning on replacing the cables and want to make sure the ones installed last time are the right ones. It uses a Quicksilver 3000 Classic control.

Thanks in advance

Jose
