I’ve also noted some rusty areas in the bilges of my previous C&C 30 and my current C&C 41 CB. The problem was that C&C used steel backing plates and some steel washers. I removed the original stuff and replaced it with the proper alloy stainless washers, and in some cases I had custom SS plates made and insured the they were properly passivated. Note: My Metallurgist friends @ Johns Hopkins U, tell me that many alloys of stainless will develop some surface rust while developing a surface protective oxide.
I have never noted any rusting of the keel bolts and never have seen Aluminum anything used in the bolts on a C&C.

Some of the spacer that C&C used were aluminum wedges to keep the nuts square to the bolts. Mine were all replaced with stainless. An easy upgrade and well worth it.
