[QUOTE="FishingCop, post: 143648, member: 133"] Okay, you're over my head now -------- if you have a salt water application, it probably is a consideration. Just a regular freshwater application is not so critical on the type of wire...BUT - I'm sure someone else can give you more professional advice than my previous recommendation - it was just my novice opinion and what I would do....... as far as the fuse, I would use an amp rating equal to or under the max amps rated on the draw (lights, bilge, etc.). With a larger wire size, you can bump up the fuse amperage a little also if you have a problem with amperage blowing the fuse. All that being said, I would yield to any other opinions from members who are more knowledgeable..... [/QUOTE]
