ok i have a black and a white wire coming from the tilt and trim motor i cant find any wiring diagrams for guages, bit unsure which terminals to connect on the tilt guage. i assume the white will be to the "S" and the black is the ground and then just run power (purple) to the "I" termianal...... sound right? ive also been told you can just jump the purple (power) over to the "s" and black ground on the ammeter from the tacho to get a reading? thanks in advance:)

One wire on the sender goes to ground on the battery (same wire as is grounded on the back of the gauge.) The other wire goes to the S post (signal) on the back of the gauge. You need a purple (hot) from the key switch to the I post on the gauge. If the gauge has a light, it needs a hot from the other dash gauges.
