Since the VHF antenna I'm installing is right next to the helm, should I cut the cable down from its original length (long) or should I just coil it up and leave it alone? Is there any advantage either way?

Shakespeare recommends going no shorter than 3 feet, but I wanted to ask the experts (you all) what you did with yours and why?

I don't want to cut it and then find out later that I shouldn't have which is my normal M.O.
