Mercury 110 9.8hp

Installing a tethered kill cord on my 9.8. Looking to confirm what wire I tie into.
Am I correct in saying I tie into the orange wire with the bolt head crimp that was going to the original push stop and the ground can go to one of those three screw heads shown in the photo ?

Looks like the red button is the kill button. Purpose is to ground out (kill) the triggers. It takes a ground connection, through the switch, to the same point on the ignition system as the wire (orange in the photo?) that's connected to the red button "I would surmise". Somewhere on a nice shiny part of the engine block is where I'd ground it and ensure that you add a "pushbutton" switch, not a regular SPST switch. 20 AWG wire size should be more than enough capacity yet offer resilience to damage.

The red button is the kill button. I just installed that to replace the stock push button stop.
So I was correct in saying the orange wire (original wire going to original push stop stop) is the wire I cut and tie into the wiring on the new lanyard switch

Can I ground to the circled screw ?

I’m a bit off course here. I think I have it sorted now. I have to splice my white and black wire from new switch into both orange wires.
