Grey is the tach signal, purple is accessory +12VDC, black is ground. It sounds like the wairing harness for the tachometer. The other two wires (white and beige) may be the PTT trim angle signal, if you have this sensor. Look on the inside of the transom bracket and see if there is anything there that moves when the motor is tilted.
