Old thread from the spam forum, but I have an update. Gave up on finding the plug since it was at the end of last season. Was installing my batteries back in today and thought I would resume the search. Did some research online and someone on this forum from a 3 year old thread described where he found his (Jminz, http://forum.chaparralboats.com/index.php?/topic/38352-vessel-view-mobile-on-50mpi/ )as well as someone on another boating forum with the same year engine. Started feeling around in the areas described and found some wires leading down the rear port side of the engine. Of course you can't see squat, as anyone with a 183/190/210 knows. Followed them to what felt like a large plastic cap that felt like it was free but jammed. Moved it around and finally gave it a tug and out popped the Vessel View plug!! Along the wires leading to it near the middle was a plug with what appears to be 4 prongs connecting the two segments together, if that helps anyone in the future.
