Hi your cable should be about 12 feet. I had mine in my 26X about 20 feet but that was too long and I had problems with the shift control lever. Now, with the much shorter cable, it works perfectly.

Hi bg1kwq,

Glad that you finally got your new boat. If you will update your profile with boat type and your location, you will get better answers to your questions.

Info for others: He ordered a new 26M from the factory and is located in Beijing, China.
