Wiring type Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: General Correct Craft Discussion Forum Name: General Discussion Forum Discription: Anything Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10601 Printed Date: June-16-2024 at 4:13pm Topic: Wiring type Posted By: 84zz4ss Subject: Wiring type Date Posted: May-26-2008 at 1:25pm I have multiple wiring concerns on the 76. From battery cables to dash and some at the engine. What type of stranded wire would be suitable? Does it need to be tin coated? Any good sources for bulk? I may rewire the entire boat before it is back in the water. Thanks in advance guys. ------------- Thanks Scott Replies: Posted By: BuffaloBFN Date Posted: May-26-2008 at 2:26pm Pete gave me some excellent wiring advice in my pumpkin patch thread. It's about 2/3's of the way through or try the search feature. You do want marine grade wiring and I think it is coated. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO Posted By: 8122pbrainard Date Posted: May-26-2008 at 5:33pm zz, Yes, the marine is tin plated. It prevents the copper oxide (corrosion) from forming at the connections. Corrosion from less expensive (cheap) wire and solder less terminals are the number one cause of electrical problems. If you are going to wire the whole boat, I'd go for it. I do know West marine carries it. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete <
