Default Do I Insulate the yagi boom from the mast

When mounting any yagi beam to a metal mast, is it best to insulate the boom
from the metal mast?

The voltage at the center of the elements is supposed
to be zero. Therefore, the boom is supposed to have
zero potential and thus can be mounted to a metal mast.
