I ordered a dozen of these on Monday and received them in the mail today. I am cautiously optimistic they can be made to work ? Overall length , distance in front of the crimp area to terminal tip , and diameter seem to be the same as OE. The only possible obstacle could be the location of locking collar on the barrel. It may be closer to the crimp area than OE. If that is the case then maybe tip trimming will work ? I won't know until I get down to my boat at Lake Cumberland , hopefully this weekend (weather permitting) ?

Guys , I'm sorry for taking so long to reply on this topic. Between busy schedule at work and terrible weather I had not been to my boat until today to follow up on this. I'm happy to report that these female barrel connectors WILL work in place of cutting and splicing into existing wires. I used 16 gauge stranded primary wire and crimped these on and soldered. After unlocking and removing the two OE wires from the harness , I inserted these all the way to the stop. I was first concerned that maybe lock would not reengage , but it did. The aftermarket connector does pull up , just a fraction of a millimeter before catching and to the eye a little more of the crimp end of the barrel is exposed than the others. But it is locked. I just taped off the ends of the original red leads and left them in the bundle in the unlikely event I ever need to go back to stock ?
The barrel connectors work. I crimped them on 16 gauge stranded primary wire and they fit securely in the wiring harness after removing the two OE wires. My initial fear was that I would not be able to relook the white clips on the plug. Not the case. Replacement connector does pull a fraction of a millimeter before locking in place but it , and all other OE pins are secure. Much better than cutting and splicing and I just taped off the removed wires in the unlikely event of needing to go back to stock config.
So you just pull the start and aux pins out and replace with the two new wires with the new pins? They just pull out of the connector easily?

Another confirmation that it works.
Did you use the cut and splice method or did you buy the pins and swap them out in the plug?
