I hate electric - wouldn't know an OHM if it bit me on the ankle - I will say though get a 12V tester with the ice pick end $5 - make a wire long enough to go from a known good ground like the battery even and you can trace down power easy. Only works on little stuff but very helpful, I even carry one on the boat for bilge pump, bait pump or light issues, saves a day sometimes.
re- read your post above, I hate to bring this up but - based on that boat, there might some connection between the helm and the motor its a long run. I would go get that tester though, you could find out if power is getting anywhere back there - start at the front at the key and switch, try and follow the power back - you will lose it somewhere and it then will be in between. Sure helps narrow the search down. Might even be a bad key switch, thats why I said start the front.
