Hey, Rick. Put the drain plug. It is cheaper than the bilge pump and you don't have to worry about wiring it up. Great christening though.

Sam, that connection goes to the firewall as part of the grounding. You should see a hole with a bind nut in it. I can't remember the thread size. The mounting point is raised a little bit. Just clea
