I'm "hoping" to use a Marine Band Base Antenna on the 2 Meter band and

Erase the word "balun" from your vocabulary -- it is vague, used to
describe at least a half dozen different things, and is thus very
confusing. What you DO want is a common mode choke on the coax at the
feedpoint. At 2 M, that's several mix 43 clamp-ons.
