Any decent "radio" shop should be able to "build" an extension cable for you. Even with a bulkhead "jack" if you desire. I was once in the marine electronics business and built such a rig for a remote SSB mic on a large "sportfish" before such things were available,
As far as my "system" on board Gratis, my primary radio is a Ray 105 handheld (made before Raytheon was Raymarine), it's one of the few 6 watt HH's. Below deck I have a Motorola Modar mounted next to the companion way over the q'berth (std layout) transmitting thru a Metz antenna mounted on the stern rail and my meter tells me it "pushes" 32 watts at the antenna. On Lake Pontchatrain and the near Gulf Coast cell phones work better for the bridge tenders and I have the 2 Coast Guard stations covering my "cruising grounds" on speed dial.

Has anyone ever run a long microphone cable from the radio so that the mic. can be removed from the base station and connected via the new "extension cable" some where near the wheel? Ted Pinelli
