Hello,
I have a 1/2 inch diameter, two prong female plug-in receiver about 2 inches from the right of the engine instrument panel on our cd22d (1982). It has a rubber cap to keep out the water when not in use that has the word Guest on it. Does anyone know what this is used for and if its original?

Thanks, Joe

Joe,

I don't know what the plug is for. My guess is that it is for an early version of a hand held spotlight.

Thanks John, I think you're right. I wasn't familiar with that supplier name.

It may be something called a Dri-Plug. Grendel (my 25D) has one for the tiller-pilot - an ancient autohelm 1000 that came with the boat and still works.

Guest makes battery chargers and it is possible that it could be for an external charger. See West Marine current catalog p. 385. Charlie.

Thanks to all for the info. I think it's a good enough excuse to start looking into getting an autopilot for the tiller. Just hate to see that plug lay idle.

Thanks, Joe

My boat has a plug like that for the tiller pilot.
