[C38] Transmission cable?

[Pierre Patino]

Uggh... yoga time to get to the transmission.....
What would be the ideal replacement transmission? The 12M or the 10M (from
catalinadirect.com
https://www.catalinadirect.com/shop-by-boat/catalina-38/engine/props-shafts-etc/
) ?

The 12M is way cheaper....
