It seems that all docks (aluminum or steel framed) would already have a natural ground without the need of a separate grounding rod...

If the boat dock's connected to the catwalk, and the catwalk's connected to the swivel / tilt mount at the bank, and the swivel / tilt mount is generally all metal and concreted deep into the ground??

But, I guess it doesn't hurt to have and extra grounding rod?

Anyway, as long as you get rid of the stinging / biting from the Power Co's ground feedback and the actual GFI breaker will trip out when necessary, problem then solved. = Happy swimmers with no ants in pants or bathing suits.
