If your cables are the same diameter, they are both series 33 cables. If the gearshift cable is roughly twice the size of the throttle cable, the shift is a series 64 cable and the throttle is a series 33. As Andrew mentioned, you are more likely to break the cable connectors (clevis) or the cable clamps that secure the cable to the controls than you are to breaking the solid steel rod inside the cable itself. Still a good idea to replace 25 year old cables before going cruising, but the lengths and series cables will depend on engine and gearbox type and are rarely standardized. My LF 35 has 2 series 33 cables, with a Yanmar 3HM and a Hurth V drive gear box. Both cables exit the pedestal on starboard side of the motor and loop around behind the engine connecting on the port side to gear box and throttle. As such the cables are 12' and 14' long.
