Default Trimming 2m 5/8 wave antenna for 156 mhz ???

Hello ! I just bought a 2m Hamstick antenna at the Orlando Hamfest, the
model 9100. I would like to trim this antenna for 156 mhz, for marine
use on my boat. Can someone tell me "about" how much I should shorten the
whip to achieve this ? Remember, this is the 5/8 wave antenna with a loaded
base.

Thank you very much !!
