What I've realized about these connections, is that they are bulletproof. Even with little care or attention, I have not had any problems. This connector is probably from an 09-10 outback, which was my first Hobie kayak. Yes, I started out on the Dark Side. Anyways, after having so many issues with my fishfinder, I decided to try this connector for my battery power source. I ordered a couple sets of connectors from a dealer and head them shipped. The complete package lists for about 20.00$. The package includes male/ female ends and pre-greased wire caps that even have a dust cap for the back of screw on wire connector . I have never seen this before. To prevent and issues, I also put some marine goop to insure a water tight seal at connection . This should give trouble free operation for more that a year of hard use. Ideally the life of your fish finder. Easily achievable if you do like me, and replace your unit every 6 months.
