I'm reworking my boat and I'm not sure of what type of wire I need to use. I'm gonna have a fish finder, nav lights and the livewell pump. It's all going to be ran to my fuse panel. Any suggestions on gauges and type?
16g. The items you list have a very small amp draw so 16g will be overkill but it holds up better to vibration then thinner wire which has been know to break
When I rewired mine last year I ordered a 250 foot spool of red and black twin wire in 14 gage in a marine grade, 14 gage will be more than enough to carrie most any load except a few special things.
glad you started this thread, Im in the same boat so to say! Going to have nav lights, interior lights, 2 bilge pumps, stereo, marine radio, depthfinder on mine.
