Hi Rufus,
I have this same motor on my 1988 Montauk. I installed the Teleflex extreme CCX63320 cables. These are 20' long. I added the loop as they exit the motor (per the rigging length information on this site) to minimize friction and wear. I think it looks pretty clean. The loops stay above the splashwell.
I have a Stiletto 13.25 X 13" SS prop, and the motor is mounted as high as it can be (3 holes up). It may be a bit under propped, but the 15" was too long.
I have moved the battery into console as well. It is connected directly to the starter with around 17' of 6ga cable, a single piece. It works very well, starting the motor with no hesitation.
I'll take some photos Saturday, and maybe even try to put up a personal page.
