VHF Transmit damage if---??

I have a 25 watt VHF that when it is turned from side to side or
flopped over and over, the transmisson breaks up. In order to isloate
any antenna and lead problems could I screw on one of those short
range CB antennas and key the mike for short periods for a check? I
will have a VHF SWR meter inline to see the output. I understand I
should not key the mike without something attached.
Thanks,
Helmer

Why not just take it to the nearest marine electronics shop, and get it
fixed?
