I'd bet someone on the #reefsquad could help with figuring out a fix. #DIYwizards

Can you post some pictures of the auto cleaner where the cord attaches or plugs in. If it doesn't plug in and its cut you will have to open it up and add in a cord. once I see it I can tell you what to do.

I looked up some pictures. Is it a DC setup or AC. You can make your own cord.

Looks like ac to me but I don't know for sure

If your lucky the motor will have a label on it saying something like 15V DC 1 amp or 12V AC 500milliamp. Your looking for the voltage, AC or D.C. & amps or milliamps.

Oh I see I'll see if I can get to it, I've been trying to get marine depot to get me the specs from deltec since I bought it from them,but for some reason I'm getting no reply. Anyway thanks for your help.

I am surprised you have not heard from MD yet. Sadly it may take them a while to get back to you as they can not just go back to the warehouse and pull a skimmer to see what power supply it uses any longer. If it is not on the motor, You might find someone with the same skimmer and see if they can get the info off their power supply

See page 40, part number 8. I'm assuming that the power cable is included with the transformer. I don't see specs, but maybe it'll help you find a replacement.

I know I'm probably driving MD crazy trying to get it so I figured I'd reach out,thanks for your help,I probably should have just paid the 70 bucks and been done with it.
