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?

To what is the coax shield going to be tied? If that antenna is
an electrical 1/4 wavelength, where's the ground plane?

But what is the outside shield of the pl259 connected to inside the antenna?
