The fuel is returned to the fuel filter head. This is done by Mercury.

only lines that go to and from the fuel filter head go into the cool fuel set up . so there is not one that comes off the rail then?

There is no return from the rail. In the cool fuel box, there is a pump, cooler and regulator. The return line comes from the regulator in the cool fuel box and goes back to the filter head. The regulator comes right off the pump, so the rail is getting fuel that is already regulated. Therefore, there is no need for a return from the rail itself.
Your return line comes from the cool fuel on the port side, across the underside of the engine, and into the fuel filter on the starboard side.
Hope this helps.
