Yamaha stern drive question

On the transom plate at the bottom (outside the boat) there's 3 earth cables.

One goes to each trim ram, where does the third go anyone?

Thanks Biff, I'll have another look in the morning.

I was fairly convinced it would go to the transom anode, to electrically connect it to the main components of the leg.
