I had them on my 1978 C&C 34, which is very similar to the 36 of the same vintage. My understanding was that they secured the deck to interior bulkheads, but who knows. I did not remove or seriously inspect any to confirm. I do know that boats of that vintage had a bulkhead tabbing problem. We had to push the main salon bulkheads back into place (using a jack), re-tab the bulkheads, and put a wooden reinforcement piece between the bulkheads at the top so the door would function properly.
Perhaps Rob Ball can enlighten us.

There would not be as these deck straps were installed in the 1980s boats, e.g. mine is 1981.
