Title: 12v Wire Source
Post by: richard5933 on April 22, 2019, 09:46:03 AM

Not sure what others use for wiring suppliers, but I just had a great transaction with a seller on eBay buying some marine-grade primary wire.

https://www.ebay.com/str/gregsmarinewiresupply

Prices seemed reasonable, shipping was fast, and he's got a great selection of colors & stripped wires (great for identifying wires in harness).

Hope it helps someone.

Richard, if you find out whether it's cross linked insulated I'd like to know (also what thickness of insulation would be good info if available) Looks like potentially a good source.

Here's the detail from the manufacturer of the wire. If you can translate the codes referenced please let me know.

Manufactured to meet SAE, ABYC, UL and Coast Guard requirements, 600 volts, 105°C dry, 75°C wet. Safety standards for electrical and gasoline fuel systems CFR 33 Part 183.(BC-5W2).
