Wiring harness connector issue at fuel pump

[pjfleischman]

2012 AR240: I had an issue the other night while out on the lake, boat ran great and after we stopped the starboard side engine just did not want to start, like it wasn't getting fuel. Fast forward to tracking down the culprit: the blue wire coming out of the connector at the top of the fuel pump is frayed. Insulation cracked, wire frayed. Verified by carefully moving wire back and forth during running.

My question is, does anyone know how to purchase just these connectors?

Secondary question: The port side blue wire seems to have the same problem starting. How does this happen? My only thought is that the fuel tank floor hatch must push on them when walked on? I have no clue if it does but what else would cause wear & tear? The floor & hatch are both strong, no soft spots.

Thanks all!

Wow, never heard that one before. Good work tracking that one down though. I’d imagine that you could pull the pin out of that plug, shorten the wire, replace only the pin And reinsert it back into the plug. A good electronic shop should be able to identify the style of pin if you brought in pics of the plugs as well as pics of the pin if you can manage to separate it.
