My plug set for engine helm has a bad connection. Engine dies when it gets moved around. Hove hose clamp on it.

Has anyone used the male female molex plugs that have 8 inch leads and crimp connectors?

I would like to try this instead of replacing entire boat/engine harness. Thanks

Ayuh,..... I haven't, as I've always manage to fix any problem, but I suppose that'll work, til ya need to swap it with a boat, or motor with a good harness,....

The fix for this was to get an extremely small prick and place it in the tip of each the male pins to gently expand the end of each pin. A guy at the marina suggested that and it worked. No more issue.
