Hi Folks,
At what point on the engine is the most common location for the battery to
engine ground? And do I need a seperate ground from the firewall ground to
the engine? My battery will be on top of the starboard footwell. I found a
bolt that holds one of the brackets for the ignition coils on top of the
block but the closest is one of the studs at the rocker cover/head. I didn't
want to disturb this one though.

Hi! Troy,
Installations are different but my battery ground is to a crank case stud, away from other electrical activity and certainly directly attached not needing to have continuity through anything else. If I recall it is via the negative side of the starter solenoid. (Unfortunately I can’t access my ‘plane at present.) However IMHO your choice of location is right ..least voltage drop possible through shortest cables. I also used multicore welding cables with powerfully crimped terminals.

Troy,
If it is a Rotax engine, I used the bolt holes located either side of the
engine sump, that Rotax use to transport the engine. You should have the
bolt left over when unpacking it that went through a bracket for
transportation.
If not a Rotax there may be a similar setup with other engines.
Cheers,
Tim
