If you cut it, the very best way to reconnect is to solder - even with a connector in the middle. But sometimes that cable has an aluminum shield conductor instead of copper, and aluminum is impossible to solder. So then you'd have to use some sort of crimp connector, which eventually *will* corrode in the environment a typical fishing boat is exposed to.
Even with copper conductors, soldering and addition of heat shrink wrap insulation you are going to expose that connection to moisture. It probably could be done, but not recommended.
Just coil up the excess and stow it away, neatly secured with some wire ties.
