I was planning on trying to do the connector myself in order to keep
the hole coming out of the side of my console as small as possible. I
don't have experience in attaching connectors...what about the
solderless ones?

I will likely be installing the antenna on the bow rail. Pics

Like Shortwave, I've been making up transceiver connections for many years.
Every solderless (crimped) one I've done .... I butcher and end up soldering
it. Maybe it's just my technique ... or lack of.
