[PSUBS-MAILIST] Bulkhead Connector

[Cliff Redus via Personal_Submersibles]

James, I have this bulkhead connector on my boat.  I went out to my shop and did the wiggle test.  Yes it feel rubbery so I think there is good chance that no damage was done.

Hi All,
Could someone please do me a favour?

I have the BH4F low power bulkhead connector fitted to my boat.  Its running the transducer for the underwater comms.  

The other day I was moving the boat with trolley jacks and I think I may have hit the bulkhead connector as I jacked it up.  

The connector is fitted together with the male part and the 2 red retaining caps are screwed together.  If I take the clips apart, and wiggle the two connectors, they feel "rubbery".  Trouble is im not sure if it was like this before or if its been damaged.  

The radio still works ok and separating the connector shows no sign of damage, but im not 100% sure I still haven't damaged something inside the connector.  I've just got the feeling something is broken inside and its now just touching together to make the connection.

Can someone with this type of connector on their boat, unscrew the red retaining caps and let me know if the assembly feels a bit rubbery, or if its solid?

Thanks in advance!
James
