Expensive two pole connector

I am looking for a four pole waterproof connector and found this one. I thought about using two but, frankly, can't afford it!

I've just used a pair of the bigger version of these (2.8mm 21Amp) to wire up the spots on my roof basket that goes on the car for camping trips.

About £4ea from what I remember. Marketed as Superseal in the UK.

They are great quality by the way, and completely waterproof if put together right.

I've got these connecting one of my bilge pumps. They do seem pretty good and water 'resistant' . Took a while to put them together 'right' but guess thats what makes them waterproof ! Still working fine after 6 months on the boat.

If its good enough for Nasher - its good enough for me !

We wired the navigation console in with these connectors and they survived a good raceboat bashing and they enabled us to easily remove the whole console with relative ease. Highly recommended although probably not at that price!

It is a typo, they've sold hundreds of them for £2.20
