    The best is marine grade. If you take a piece apart you will find fine, coated (silver looking) wire.

    Bill is right. The finer the strand of the wire, the more flexible the cable, but the finer the strand the larger the physical size of the cable.. A solid conductor wire of the same cma is physically smaller than the same cma stranded wire.

    I was really surprised when I discovered the Ethernet cable for Lowrance HDS was solid conductor wire. It is actually just 6 conductor utp cat5 type wire. If you remove your equipment a lot, this type cable usually will break wires at the molded connector. Ask billbob.

    Most of the time I have 10 or more accessory items running. (More if I take the kid) One day I stayed out for about 14 hours. Went to hit the key and it did not turn over. This extra battery is a cheep insurance policy.
