Hobie live well battery connector

[wade]

BWE,

I was wondering if anyone found any place reasonable to get one of those proprietary connectors Hobie uses on its livewells for battery connections?

I have looked everywhere and cannot get the exact one..
Some auto,electrical manufacturer "OEM" has to be using them and is available somewhere?..
What is the precise name/model # ect for them?

Thanks

Wade

I'm pretty sure Marshall's Hardware in Miramar has those.

Thanks!, but what do i ask for exactly before wasting gas ?
i am about ready to cut the hobie tank & charger and make it with the regular ol' connectors instead..

Marshall's has them. I'll get you the part numbers when I get home tonight.

here ya go Wade. I bought these at Marshall's. I think they are called weatherpack terminals if I am not mistaken. The part number on them won't be Marshall's part number, but should get you in the right direction.

They also carry the plastic and rubber parts, and the removal tool. Just no crimping tool.

Why use a stock plug that is prone to failure. All my kayak connections are done with Astro Flite plugs. I have used them on a friends PWC, (he races for a living) so they see alot of time on the water both salt and fresh. have yet to have one go out or corrode. a little dielectric grease and press them together. They are a little pricy but in the long run worth it. Hope it helps.
