I have used Dyno batteries without issue. They cost less than 1/2. Am I
missing something?

FWIW, My VHF antenna cable and mast wiring extends six feet from the bottom of
the mast, up under a settee bunk. The wires enter a waterproof box and land on
a terminal strip and the coax has a female PL259 connecting to a double male
PL258 to the cable that goes to the VHF radio. Under the
I forget where I came across this guide but it has served me well. I don't
recall needing a crimper.

It certainly does not seem unreasonable for the yard to have cut it if there
was no way to disconnect it, That is just common sense. But they should have
taped a line onto the hidden part so you could fish another from the radio.
At some point a mast is going to have to be removed.

A great idea although my mast is not routinely removed—twice since new in 1995.
At least this solution allows the cable to be disconnected and reconnected
without cutting it, which the Shakespeare connector requires.
Of course, I would need a ‘crimper’ for the male connectors—as another poster
You should put a connector there anyway so that you can remove the mast in the
future. Majority of boats at our club take down mast every year and are set up
this way. Basically same connector as at radio and antenna ends of the cable
with a barrel connector
