Tri-Guy..Why does'nt the pin count matter?? Just wondering.

Not sure why the pin count doesnt matter, my friend had one with the wrong count and it worked. After I saw him do this I asked around and got the same answer that the boxes are the same and its ok to use.

The #3 pin isn't used in some applications. Plug is set up for 5 pins but some only have 4 there. #3 usually used in a dual ballast application otherwise not needed.

Fyi canuck boaters......shop out these parts.....I started at a high of $120 all the way down to $16........no reason not to have spares at that price.....especially given how easy it is to change out with out tools....

Thanks for the info...It sould be illegal to charge 5 times more just because it's for "marine use" !
