i've got a perko switch comin' and i've been getting differing opinions as to which wire to buy. minn kota says 6ga stranded. is there really a difference between "tinned" wire and regular copper wire, and is stiff stranded w/hard insulation really any different than flexible? i need to run 15' @24v. the price differs greatly!
Tinned marine wire is more flexible and resists corrosion better. Regular stranded wire will work just fine. 6 gauge is important tho.
do it right and get Tinned marine wire , and set back with no worries and fish
I have never used anything but regualr wire. I have put it in several boats and never had any problems. I have heard alot more complaints with regular wire in Saltwater enviroments.
I just purchased cable for my tm. I ordered premade with connectors at a very good price. Fast shipping too. This is marine tinned cable.Quote:

I reported the link for the mods to determine if the poster was attempting to promote his own web site. Since they didn't do anything, I assume it's legit and just a suggestion. 1st post links are about 99.999% spam, but this looks like the .0001% exception.
Spammers don't bother to fill out the personal info. Looks like a good link if you need some ready made cables.
thanks for the help everybody. just ordered turn-key 4ga tinned cables and jumpers from bogieman's link. fyi the 4ga is $1.20 something a foot. i'll report back when i get 'em next week. told him i'd advertise the quality of the transaction one way or the other.
got my cables today. i'm pretty impressed. a knowledgable guy on the phone, quick turnaround, the cable ends were very inexpensive, had shrink wrap red/black. i also ask for a 3" sample wire so i could see what's underneath. i'd recommend them. thanks for the link bogieman
Good deal!
I wanted to give this company another positive post as well - after reading this thread this week I decided to give them a try. Placed a sizable order with a pretty complex custom assembly Wednesday evening. Order arrived today and everything looks GREAT -> Greate service, Great quality, Great Prices, Great shipping/assembly speed, no hassle what so ever. 6awg wire for $1.01 /ft and free shipping on everything with no minium order size.
I will for sure use them again if I ever need wire or wire accessories.
If I broke a rule, I apologize. I can assure you I haven't got ANYTHING to do with that website other than purchasing from them one time. I learned about them from another forum and just thought I would pass it on-that is all. I figured most people look for better (and cheaper) options-I know I do.
No, it was my mistake. It's just unusual for a first time poster to post a link, and the name of the site sounded like a spam site. I bookmarked it myself for future use.Quote:

You can use any wire you want. A lot of people use regular wire and have no problem, But the correct and proper wire is marine tinned.
