12V Switched plug behind dashboard (?) 215HO

[Rick215HO]

If you look behind the dashboard on my 2014 Scarab 215HO (Open the backrest of the starboard side/bow cushion), there is this plug (see picture), and it is not connected to anything. After some testing this looks like a switched 12V power plug.

It seems to me like this would be a great wire/place to connect any dash electronics such as GPS or fish finders (?) - Does anyone know what the name of this type of plug is and where is it sold? I'd like to find its mate to connect some electronics to it (don't want to cut it off..)

Has anyone ever used it?

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Looks like I found the connector, in case anyone is interested...

Wires in the back are purple and yellow.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the data connector for the medallion display.

Did you end up connecting your GPS here?
I plan to connect mine this month.

If I understand correctly, your link is to the female version which is already installed in the boat.
To connect another device, I need the male version, which I think is this:

54200210 Aptiv (formerly Delphi) | Mouser

54200210 Aptiv (formerly Delphi) Automotive Connectors 2W MALE HOUSING BLACK 2.8MM TERM SZ datasheet, inventory, & pricing.

www.mouser.ca

I also need two male pins. Right?

PanamaJet, this was a while back and I don't have that boat anymore, but I believe you should be correct. It should be the male version if I recall correctly. I went back into the mouser receipt on my emails and found this part number 649-54200204 54200204 (male).

How do you like the 255? What size motors do you have? Any major issues with it?
