Connect the ground wire in the transom harness under the bonding strap screw on the transom.
Do not connect any other ground wires here.
Use the ground studs on the flywheel housing for other grounding needs.

bonding screw on the transom. This ground wire is not needed with the transom harness,but can
be connected to the flywheel housing or removed. In any case the grounding wire in the transom
harness must be connected to the bonding strap screw.
