ditch the bonding, period. look at it this way - the whole point of bonding is to eliminate difference in electrical potential between different metallic elements below the waterline. We are talking millivolts. Accordingly, it only takes a few milliohms of resistance to change the electrical potential between components. I'm sure you've seen corrosion on bonding wires and bronze thru-hulls. it would be different if there was a lug on these fittings so bonding wires could be properly soldered, but usually they are attached with hose clamps. within a few months of bonding as system like this you can bet everything will be at a different electrical potential anyway. keep an eye on zincs and you should be good to go.
