Has anyone used a deck connector for the mast wiring other than the chrome plated brass connector or Aqua Signal?

That is the one I use. (the chrome one) It is a really tight fit for the right size conductors. I would love to find a different one with as good a strain relief.

I'm happy with the 5-pin Aqua Signal. They're right about the 16ga max. I used 14ga and it took some doing.

I currently have the chrome plated model, but I've battled occasional corrosion problems with it. As for the Aqua Signal connector, I have limited space around the mast base due to the presence of stand up blocks and this connector might be hard to place.

This lack of real estate is why I was looking for an alternative. I even thought of using a watertight flat trailer connector.

I USED THE FLAT TRAILER CONNECTOR. WORKS GREAT, INEXPENSIVE, JUST DOESN'T LOOK AS GOOD AS THE OTHERS.
