Water Heater Plug 270

JonnyM

I just replaced my water heater on my 270.  There is a plug on the power wire in the engine compartment that connects to the wire coming from the breaker panel.  It has color coded plastic on the inside and 4 square prongs that connect male to female. Some of the plastic is broken inside mine.  Does anyone know what this plug is called and where I can get a replacement?

It's an Anderson Powerpole

Thank you.  I guess I will have to rebuild it.
... Or does anyone know of a plug I can use in this situation (in engine compartment) that will work as a replacement?

you may just want to remove that connection all together.  This has been discussed before:

Thanks @Dream_Inn, after reading all of that, I am going to remove and splice!  Great info.
