In the midst of the work on replacing the engine in my 1978 C30, I found a quite large gauge wire under the liner/in the bilge. It was not attached to anything - I pulled on it a little and one end came out; pulled on the other side and the other end came out.
There is a bolt sticking out of the fiberglass hull about where the strut attaches - found it when cleaning off the area under where the gast tank used to sit.
Does anyone know why this large guage wire would be there? I assume it did something at some point in time and previous owners removed it for some reason. Is it part of the grounding system? Should it be connected to that bolt? Does the bolt bind to the strut, and hence to the shaft in the water? Scratching my head.
Thanks.
