[Rhodes22-list] Masthead Light/Wiring

While we’re on the subject, the connections at my mast base are iffy at best, working every other year. I want to now go thru deck with a four-wire connector and neither Defender nor West Marine have a recommendation. I went to Blue Seas & a few other sources, but struck out so far.

Has anyone come across a suitable waterproof type?
