Throttle cable 1999 hydrasport 23 wa

[Gfedor]

during tune up I noticed when shifting from neutral into forward I had some resistance, oil, lubed fittings at the motor side (225 Johnson Ocean pro) seems easier to shift, but as a precaution i might have it replaced. Anyone know the length of it ? 1999 23 seahorse model. Ty in advance

Throttle cable is ok, can move it back and forth no problem while disconnected. Thinking something in lower unit g unit? Linkage, rod/bar?
