Possibly a bonding wire for the strut or a zinc to be hung off the stern? Our 35 at one time had a wire to the strut bolts. It now has a wire leading to a post on the aft deck, where I hang a large zinc over the stern (attached via a wing nut to the post) while at dock or anchor. C&C recommended this extra zinc in a document I got with the boat, and many other boats in our club do the same.
