Default 3500sy with extended swim platform mounting hardware issue

Has anyone got extra oxidation on bolts that hold the main brackets of the swim platform to the transom, If yes advise on a solution for it, I'm in the process of changing those bolts(stainless steel) as i'm pulling them out they come out in really rough shape very corroded and one of them had a little water around it , has anyone has added a sacrifice zinc to the brackets or maybe aded a ground wire to the nuts inside the hull?

they probably should have a ground wire on the inside of the bolts to prevent the corrosion effects your experiencing...
