Actually the swivel/tilt mounts are where you will lose a "good" ground. They don't always supply a good connection because they move a lot, are often greased, and all in all a very poor continous bond to ground. I always put wire jumpers across all swivel/tilt points in order to be sure to maintain a constant ground. That is just when I'm grounding the dock. I still recommend a seperate isolated ground rod also. A steel footing may rust or not be deep enough for a good ground anyway. That is why you need a copper clad or galvanized ground rod at least 6 foot long.
Another issue on cutting the ground wire in the panel. That ground may be protecting other circuits outside. Lights, plugs etc. By snipping the ground in the panel you will leave this devices ungrounded. GFCI breaker or not. I would never leave an outside circuit ungrounded.
