Water got into the housing for the transformer and I it is shot. I would like to replace just the transformer but can't seem to find anything that is close. Original is:

120V black/white/ground
13.1V 40.6 VA output yellow/yellow

Bulb I think is halogen 35W

I thought finding a transformer would be easy but can't seem to locate one. I figured someone has replaced their transformer and can help out.

Section 680.23(A)(2) states that transformers used for low-voltage lighting around pools shall incorporate isolated windings with an ungrounded secondary and a grounded metal barrier between the primary or secondary or double insulation between the primary and secondary windings

New building code for low voltage lights around pool?
