Finally problem solved.!
The white wire is broken somewhere within the harness. I spliced a wire into the harness at the motor and up at the helm. Motor running, all gauges work, trim/tilt working.
I will buy a new harness and replace existing. I'm concerned there could be underlying faults with other wires within the harness- don't want anyone to end up stranded. if I knew there was a potential problem
Another interesting twist in this whole debacle- turns out the trim switch on the motor was bad as well. So testing for voltage draw using this switch was not effective
My Thanks and appreciation to all who assisted me resolving this problem
