[QUOTE="MailManMike, post: 421525, member: 21622"] Actually, thinking about it, the whole reason AC current was developed back in those early days was because DC generated too much heat and voltage drops along conductors. So the conductors had to be much larger and more expensive. Afterthought: since I've started this project, I've been on several different forums and have found more than a few postings re: my trolling motor wires melted. The NEC was developed for safety. Buildings were burning down all over and electricity was the prime culprit. The boating community has a code also, though I forget the name. I guess most folks think it applies to larger craft. I dunno. [/QUOTE]
