Electrical – Hot tub wiring extending existing wire

electricalhot-tubwiring

I recently got a new hot tub and unfortunately the new hookup is about 2 feet further from where the old hot tub was. For various reasons it would be difficult to run new wire from the gfci breaker.

I know it would likely be against code, but would putting a waterproof junction box inside the hot tub cabinet be ok? Again, I understand it's probably against code, but is there really any reason not to do it assuming it is all waterproof and done correctly?

Thanks

Adding a weather proof box at the tub is legal.
