My Radio Will Only Output About A Mile Or Two, Is It My Mic?

My marine band radio will only put out about a mile or two, when it should put out well over 10. I can be heard within a 2 mile or so radius. Is this a mic problem or an antenna? How can I troubleshoot? I have it set to  "Hi" setting also. Thanks in advance
