Just rebuilt most of a 2 stroke jet boat. ( if you need want any boat details, see: this thread )

When I purchased the boat, the thickest negative battery terminal wire was not connected to anything. This is literally the last connection I have to make before trying to turn over the new engine I just installed.

Can anyone tell me what this wire is supposed to be connected too?

Connect it to the engine block:

A bolt on the engine end of one of the engine mounts, or one of the bolts that hold the starter, but not a hot spot like one of the exhaust manifold bolts.

Anywhere on the engine block is pretty-much equivalent so connect it to the most convenient place.

After referring to page 26 of the owners manual here, I have confirmed that the large black wire coming from the negative black terminal should be grounded to one of the bolts that mount the starter motor to the block.
