In terms of handling up to a 30 amp power draw the Pollak 5-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Connector # PK11501 can handle 15 amps. Thirty amps would be too much for it. That is why I would go with a 6-Way, # PK11604.

As far as environmental conditions considering that I assume this will be on some sort of watercraft the outer shell is chrome plated and die-cast zinc so it does have decent protection against corrosion. After running wires to the plug and closing it up make sure to wrap up the back with electrical tape to keep any moisture from getting inside.

If you need something that accepts larger gauge wire but don't need 5 functions we have 2-pole connector # PK12800.
