Ignition coil grounds

[d_glover25]

I just rebuilt a 1990 Evinrude 115 v4. I bagged and tagged everything and took pics. My pictures don't show close enough to see the grounds that are visible in my manual. I dont see them anywhere but I'm pretty sure they are supposed to be grounded. there is a metal clip around one of each of the four ignition coils. I don't even see a place where a wire would come out of them for a ground. Am I losing my mind? If I have somehow lost all four grounds what should I do about this? can they be replaced? will new coils have ground leads?

Those metal clips are the grounds. Make sure they are clean and clean the block where they bolt on. The bolts with the star washers go on the grounds.

Thanks, I was hoping you'd say that.
