[QUOTE="mbweimar, post: 454076, member: 9884"] If it's a new boat, and you want your setup to last, it's best to buy good wire. Tinned copper will resist corrosion, and when used with proper heat shrink and connectors, will give you trouble free service for years. Through my years of electrical engineering, I've taken plenty of shortcuts. 99% of the time I end up having problems later, and have to go back and do it the right way. I used 4 guage wire for my Terrova setup on my boat with a waterproof 50 amp circuit breaker. The run was about 13 feet from my console to the bow. [/QUOTE]
