The EMS comes with a little baggie with screws and some ring terminals (IIRC it's more than one) to use on the small green grounding screw on the side of the interior of the EMS. Take one of the ring terminals and crimp it onto a piece of green or bare wire. If you don't have one, you'll need to buy a crimper/stripper but they are cheap. This connection inside the EMS is for bonding and sensing and can be a smaller gauge like #14 .
It's very important to maintain the integrity of the ground wire inside the shore power cable (from the panel all the way to the shore power plug) by not having substandard splices/connections and by not reducing the wire gauge anywhere. I'm just going by memory, but I seem to recall from our EMS that the grounding screw inside the EMS is rather small, as is the ring terminal. I also seem to recall that the instructions being vague or silent on exactly how to connect the ground wires.
