The wire was twisted to itself.

Yes it does, and after much scraping looks like the
Wire is through the roll pin.
After much debate a buddy of mine consulted an
Old salt friend and he said it is bonding
wire and is used for electrolysis.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the first reply thst helps a lot!

Just stripped 32 coats of paint off the rudder shaft. There is a piece of copper wire through the shaft and twisted. Why?
