23.5 Masthead Light Connector

[Bobbi Ullinger]

I’m sure this has been asked, but a search turned up nothing. I was having multiple issues with the masthead light. The switch fell apart, that’s been replaced, but the lights are still not working. I metered the female deck connector at the base of the mast, and confirmed correct wiring. Cleaned the contacts with DeOxit, but lights still not working. When I disassembled the male connector, the plastic insulator inside fell apart, leading to my question. Does anyone have a manufacturer and model number for this plug, and where I can get a new one?

Thanks in advance,
Bobbi

Photo of plug, please.
Defender should have replacement 12V plugs and recepticles.
Did you check connection integrity at the light itself? Bulb?

oops, thought you were looking for the light
I replaced my plug with a Hella unit the one that came with the boat was garbage and I could not find another one that fit any.

I'd be surprised if it is still the original plug.
