Are thru hulls suposed to be grounded?

All of my thru hulls have what looks like an old, Thin 16 gauge, ground wire on them.
Looks like when they repowered to diesel they just cut the wires.
Are the bronze thru-hulls and the stuffing boxes, rudder posts, shaft struts, etc suposed to grounded? and if so to what?
There is no grounding plate on this boat everything just grounds to the blocks and in turn to the negative of the battery.
