Hey Jeff, I did some checking and the Malibu part number 6832001.1 is exact same as the Optronics Trailer Connector w/ Coiled Cord # OPT48NB that you referenced so this would be the correct replacement. Did you lose your current 7-way or did it get damaged?

Damaged. Dry rot seems to be a pretty common issue with the Malibu plugs. Hopefully this will last longer than those.

@JeffK understandable! How long did the Malibu one last and was it exposed to saltwater?

@JamesonC 3 years, no salt water but it’s stored outside all summer

@Jeff yeah outside can be rough but three years does seem too short of a time.
