[QUOTE="FLatsFishin, post: 367985, member: 14815"] I wouldn't worry too much about wire size. You have to have distances of several hundred feet before voltage drop becomes an issue, unless you have a lot of current draw on the circuit. 12AWG wire may be overkill, but you will never have to worry about anything if you use it. I prefer 14 or 16 AWG depending on the purpose, for example, my NAV lights are all 16AWG, my heavier load circuits are 14AWG and I have no problems at all. [/QUOTE]
