OK, I'm slow.  But I finally took the tape measure down to the boat.
There's about 7 inches between the two 90 degree elbows, so I'd 
guess the pipe nipple is 8" long.  The 45 is butted up against
the upper 90 and the mixing pipe is right after that.  The mixing
pipe is bronze and the rest is iron.
