Yes, it has a pl 259 coax connector on the antenna and it did not come with
any cable.

Are you saying it wont work?
Why would the manufacturer make a marine CB antenna knowing it would be
put
on a fiberglass boat knowing that most people would simply hook up the
coax
and see it it works.
I read in the marine catalogs about marine CB antennas designed for
boats
and not to be concerned about a ground plane.
Anyone know the answer?
I said "if it is a 1/4WL antenna..." If it is a 1/2WL antenna, it will
work
without a ground plane. Does it have a coax connector on it? If so, what
is
the outside of the connector tied to?

an electrical 1/4 wavelength, where's the ground plane?
