Not directly connected, no. You do need an end-fed tuner.

WOW !  A big steel plate and all that saltwater for a groundplane just screams for a vertical if you want to work DX !  I could see a motor tuned screwdriver type antenna with one of the big, long telescopic whips for MFJ on top.  They even make one of those whips that extends out long enough to be a full quarter wave from 20 meters and up and wouldn't need a tuner 20 thru 10 meters !  Just screw it into a big mobile mag mount, place it on the deck plate and adjust the length.  Quick and easy to deploy, and quick and easy to remove !
