Help with Seafari steering cable routing

[SailorChlud]

Good Morning: Have any Seafari owners raised their transom to 25 inch height and used teleflex mechanical steering?

If so, did you route the steering cable under the starboard seat into the splashwell area like you would on a 20 inch height transom?

With the top of the transom at about the level of the top of the seat, If the cable goes under the seat, it will have to make a bend upward of about 4-5 inches to mate with the tilt tube on the motor. I am concerned that would be too much bend in too short a run to give good smooth operation?

Am I just concerned for no reason, or will I need to install hydraulic steering instead? It would help if someone had used mechanical steering and gave me their thoughts? Here are photos of the newly raised transom splashwell area:
