Default Installing a Kohler 5e, Where do I connect the 120ac?

I'm installing a Generator in my Donzi 3250. Its a Kohler 5e model year 2006. My boat was prewired for a generator and has the wires running to where the generator will go. I have installed the water pickup and ran the fuel line and exhaust. I used a Kohler switch instead of the factory donzi wires for a remote(in the cabin start). I'm very close to done but I dont see obvious places to wire the hot, common, ground for the 120 vac.

I'm guessing the hot would be to the one side of the breaker and ground to the chassis of the generator but I figured that Kohler would have this labeled like the other inputs.

If you know, let me know what to do.

Thanks
Scott

Im gonna guess and say that the hot is the top screw of the relay on the generator and the bottom screw would be the common and I will ground it to the chassis.

If this sounds crazy and I'm gonna burn my boat down please say so. I'm gonna wire it up tommorrow and test run it.

Thanks
