[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 474253, member: 16014"] Not knowing the layout of your boat, and not knowing if the pvc would running under decks or out in the open, I would say go ahead with the PVC it’s quite cheap but use “schedule 80” PVC that is the grey stuff. It’s very strong you get some cold bend strength out of it, but it is also UV stable which the white stuff is not (that’s why electricians use it, because it won’t get brittle and crack over time. I used 1/2” on my boat and it worked great for all of the #14 wire that I ran from back to front. For a couple of battery cables 1/2” should be fine 3/4” if you want to run some other stuff in it.
