Terminal block cover

Every time it rains I have to clean the connections because moisture gets under the screws and I lose power. I can't seem to find those little brown plastic covers for this application that I see on most Whalers. Anyone know where I can find one? Thanks.

When you do find the covers you might want to pick up some dielectric compound/grease and coat the block and terminals prior to reassembly next time you have them apart. Some folks swear by vaseline which is less expensive. Bill...On the Ogeechee 1984 Outrage 18...Yamaha T50...that's right, 50hp

Also if you have a marine parts "outlet" type store that deals in new/used and surplus marine parts. There's one near here and when I go,I end up in there for quite some time, and alittle poorer. Just a thought...... THOM : 1999 Outrage 18, 2012 E-TEC 150, 2012 EZ Loader trailer

The junctions for the nav lights are a terminal strip on the inside of the port stern. The strip is covered by a small box with "Unibox" stamped inside. I assume that this is original. If you go to the website above you can find an identical box in a variety of colors. The boxes are intended for a different purpose so that one would have to drill holes for the wires to enter and for mounting screws. I have bought such a box but have not yet replaced the original.
