Yes, that is a flat connector like Larry describes. I have never seen an OE Whaler stern light supplied with such a connector.
Cole-Hersee, a long time Whaler OEM makes those. They also make the original style round black plastic/brass pin connectors that do not work well.
The key with any connector chosen it that it be no more than 3/4" wide so it can fit through the stern light mounting brackets on the transom. This allows the light pole to be removed and stowed.
The two-pin flat connector will, I believe, as it is only 5/8" across.
