Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. If you are trying to ground the Docking LIghts # DL-16CC, the frame could work, or you can ground them by running a wire directly to the battery. If you ground to the frame you will want to find a spot where you can ground to good clean metal free of any paint, rust or corrosion.

Hey Brian, how did things go with grounding the docking lights on your Bennington pontoon? Did connecting to the frame or running a wire to the battery end up working better for you? Your update could make it easier for the next person wiring their lights.
