Default After market source for connectors/interface cables??

Just because the strain releif has an "F" on it doesn't make it
propriety. Some winches say Lewmar, but Lewmar doesn't actually
make anything. Neither does Scandvik. The Allied catalog has pictures
of many multi-pin connector with dimension info. Amphenol is one of the
biggest connector makers. Also Molex. You might try getting intouch with
the actual connector makers.

I have a Digikey catalog and have used their elex part before, however the
connects don't have any dimensional information or what the give isn't
sufficient to select the proper connector.. Epecially when you get into

the
6 pin connector where they have pins in the middle and around the side..

Also the Furuno data/gyro connector has two alignment keys.. How the hell

do
you measure these and their location.. Almost impossible without a part
number or an opportunity to do a trial fit.

I just notice that the Furuno connector has a "F" Logo on the molded

strain
relief.. So you can be sure that is proprietory..
