Suzuki 250 rigging question

[riptide]

I'm repowering my 23 Sceptre with a 250 Suzuki.I'm having the motor shipped up from Florida and forgot to measure the control cables on my old motor before I sold it.
Does anyone know what length cables I need? it has a dash mounted binnacle control w/transom mounted motor.
Also what pitch Suzuki prop should I go with?
I'm thinking 18.5 or 17

Petty sure 20 FT cables work Im running a 16 20 3 blade suke prop at5700 on scepter works great if i did over i,ed go 18 5 but i have plenty of power easy cruse at 28 knots 4200 rpm

Look here for instructions and diagram on measuring for control cables.

If you have a binnacle control instead of side-mount, add the distance of the control from the hull-side if the cables run under the gunwale. SO you would have A+B+4' plus distance from gunwale.
If the cables run aft below the deck, add the distance from the hull side plus the binnacle height above the deck.
