    quote Jerry Ahrens:

    I assume you are working on an OMC ? Just clean everything up and go with it. The mag grounds through the bushing where it pivots on the powerhead.

    I have wondered the same thing as VinTin about the ground on a mag plate. it calls for some grease on the bushings ,have used triple guard and thinned it out a bit with LPS. and it worked fine.I think i should have used Lithium grease? Evidently the grease doesn’t insulate well enough to block the grounding?
    I don’t mean to or intend to highjack this topic, but since this was brought up.. 😀 EDIT
