Anyone know the PN for the pigtail connector plug that connects the stern light to the wiring junction box on vintage 1985-1990 Super sports? This is a small black two prong connector w mating plug wired directly to the junction box

It's a Perko 0042 polarized connector. Whaler used them for years and years and they are lousy.

I use a polarized trailer style connector now. Here is an example of one:

The only limitation is that whatever connector you use needs to be 3/4" or less so it can pass through the stern light mounting brackets.

The polarized trailer connector is by far the better choice. The Perko is a POS and the wires pull out way to easily.
