Where can I buy a socket to take this plug?

[Wandering Star]

Just bought a brand new Raymarine ST4000+ tiller drive unit with this plug attached.

anyone know the matching female socket manufacturer or where I can find one?

Just replace it with any 3 pin plug and socket you have available that meets the spec. i.e similar sized pins and suitable to the environment.

The socket for my Raymarine tiller drive corroded and it was an easy job to replace with something better, even for me.

Betcha lose any warranty if you have to change the plug. Gotcha by the short n curlies. Do check first.

I could be wrong, but seem to remember that although the plug and socket are 3-pole, the power cable between control unit and drive is only 2-pole. So if replacing with other connectors, 2-pole should be fine.

My original plug and socket (5pin) on a new ST 2000 became rusty,was like a Bulgin but clearly not a Bulgin,so replaced with a much more cleanable two pin Bulgin with plated contacts,before it was repaired under warranty,having failed in heavy rain in the last week of the extended 3 yr cover.No quibble .

I believe current cables are shielded, and the shield goes to the 3rd connector.
