    What kind of kill switch are you installing? Is it a stop switch to turn it off, or is it a safety switch with a lanyard to turn it off if you fall overboard?

    The motor came with a stop switch, so the wires should already be there. If you are installing a lanyard switch, connect it to the same two wires going to the stop switch (leave it connected also)

    Neither type of switch needs a ground connection.
