Default Cut GPS Antenna Wire??

Greetings from the PacNorWest!

My question is: what problem(s) would I have if I cut the antenna wire to my
GPS/chart plotter (Standard Horizon CP-170) and splice with a BNC connector or
equivalent? Not sure what the impact would be (loss issues) at the freq used
by GPS.

I want to relocate the antenna and don't want to pull the antenna wire. If I
could cut, relocate and splice the wire the job is soooooo much easier.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks for your time//
