[QUOTE="Bob Landry, post: 248415, member: 7025"] I agree. having done marine wiring for the last 15 years and also having been involved in insurance claims where shoddy work and cheap materials and in some cases just an unfortunate "Aw, S**t" were the cause of a boat fire, I can tell you that this is not where you want to skimp. Marine wiring is subject to a lot of vibration and mechanical stress and strange things can happen. This is where you want to use stranded pretinned marine wire, quality connectors and adhesive line heat shrink. Go to this link, https://www.paneltronics.com/ip.asp?op=Tech_ABYC and download the two PDFs. They are excerpts from the latest ABYC manual on marine wiring and they are free. Fuse and circuit breaker protection is very important, not only from a size standpoint, but also location. You can't know too much about this stuff and you can never know it all. [/QUOTE]
