Cables are usually stamped at one of the ends with a number that includes the length. If you can't find that, my recommendation is to remove the cable and measure it. Before you do that though, ensure first that it is routed properly in case you have to adjust the length. You don't want it to be too short or too long, and you don't want any tight turns.

Does your boat have the lower helm station ?
