This is one of those situation where bonding will cause you more problem than not.

The idea of bonding is to ground all dissimilar metals to a common, 0 volt potential to drain off potential voltage leaks from dissimilar metals in contact with other.

The garboard plug as it sits is isolated from all the other metals on the boat. It has 0 volt potential as it sits. No bonding wire is required and in fact would be detrimental should something happen to the rest of the system.
