Whats minimum length of controls i can get away with. 14? Center console thru floor to motor.

Control cables are cheap compared to the cost of a boat.
No mater what length they are. A few dollars one way or the other.
Buy the correct length that suites your needs and your boat.

You cannot run a straight cable for the steering. Period.
It has to go to the starboard side and then into the tilt shaft of the motor.
17' or 18' foot cable is correct.
Take a look around our entire "Article" section for more information.
