Need length of VP shift cable

[Donald0039]

Boat is a 2011 Chaparral Signature 270. Need to replace the shift cable. Would like to know ahead of time so I can buy the proper cable. The throttle cable is a 19'. Outdrive is DPS-A OXI.
Looked with a flashlight and do not see a marking on the shift cable. Found one on the throttle cable.

Could be the info you seek is stamped on the portion of the cable between the seal tube end and the drive. May need to remove that portion of the cable to see it.

FYI, nobody knows what length cable you need, it's possible you need to remove the cable completely and measure it
