OMC Plug on Controller

I have a 1990's Johnson 90HP VRO motor and the sidemount OMC controller. We had to move everything to a different boat and I can't recall where the purple and Blue wire go from the controller? It's a 3-pin connector but only has those two wires. I THINK it's for a tach, but all reading points to a purple/grey/black combo. Can anyone confirm where the wires in this photo go (Blue and Purple)?

The external rubber plug is usually a lighting circuit on OMC remotes. have you tried testing the output with a volt meter (with engine running)?

Seems logical doesn't it BUT, I haven't tested it running yet. :-( Thought I'd see if anyone knew "oh yeah, thats the blah blah wire..." I hope to get to it tonight after work. If I do I'll crank up the voltmeter and see what I find.
