Westerbeke electrical harness connectors

Does anyone know the details of the 8-pin connector used to connect the engine wiring harness to the control panel? I want to tap in to the harness to connect an analog-to-N2K box that will put all my engine parameters onto the N2K data bus. Rather than cutting and splicing, I was thinking of creating a small pigtail that has a male and female connector, and plug it inline.

My engine is a Westerbeke 82B-four, and I have the "Admiral Panel".

Thanks,
David

It's on page 52 of the tech manual, downloadable on this page from Westerbeke.

Thanks, Jim! I have the wiring diagram, what I'm looking for is the actual connectors themselves so I can make up a pigtail to insert inline between the engine and the control panel. It looks a bit like an 8-pole trailer wiring connector, but I'm trying to confirm that.

Regards,
David.
