How to measure steering cables - "Measure twice. Order once."

New Installation
Measure cable routing path from wheel center line to engine connection as follows:
- A = Center line of wheel to gunwale (or deck if routed downward)
- B = Dash to transom
- C = Gunwale to centerline of cable connection at centered tiller
For cable installations through the engine tilt tube: Add A, B and C plus 15cm, then round up to the 25cm. Order that length cable. For cables mounted to transom, splashwell or stringer: Add A, B and C, then subtract 20cm and round up to the next 25cm. Order that length cable.

Typical single station routing
