When replacing your steering cable, it's best to remove and measure your old cable before ordering the replacement. If measuring your existing cable isn’t possible, follow our guidelines below.
Example:
A(18") + B(90") + C(24") + 6" = 138" or 11'6" (Round off to 12 ft)
A + B + C + 6" = Total Measurement

For longer boats, additional manpower may be needed to maneuver the tape measure through the boat in as straight of a line as possible, as issues might arise from closed cabin boats, but for open deck ones, it should be easy enough for most people.
For those studying for Boat Ed and the question on what is the correct way to measure the overall length of a boat pops up, then this is the guide for you.
Now that you’re on the stern, make sure that you have as direct of a line of sight towards the bow as possible, and keep the tape measure as straight as you can.
Now you can measure the length. more
As the overall length only measures the immediate boat you are in, towing skis, wakeboards, kayaks, or other external watercraft and watersports equipment are not included in the overall measurement as they are not technically a part of the boat.

When purchasing a boat cover it is extremely important to ensure you have accurate dimensions. Incorrect sizing can lead to poor cover performance and premature wear. Common issues with the cover being too large include bagging, sagging, or ballooning while trailering. Having a cover that is too tight can lead to frustration when trying to put it on, improper coverage and slipping off while trailering or in high wind conditions. This boat measuring guide can be applied to any boat type—from basic fishing boats to extravagant pontoon boats—we have you covered.
Try to measure in a straight line. Do not measure up and over windshields, rails, seats, etc. more
When sizing a boat cover, it's better to size it too big than too small.
