Sea-Dog 14 AWG Yellow Marine Primary Wire, 100 ft
Sea-Dog 14 AWG Yellow Marine Primary Wire, 100 ft — Product description
The Sea-Dog 14 AWG yellow primary wire gives you a single stranded conductor of tinned copper in a PVC jacket, wound on a 100-foot spool. It's built for the lower-amp DC circuits on your boat, and the tin plating keeps corrosion from eating the strands out on the water.
The Sea-Dog 14 AWG yellow primary wire is a single stranded conductor built for the DC side of your boat. Tinned copper core, yellow PVC jacket, wound on a 100-foot spool. It's the kind of wire you reach for when you're running a new accessory circuit or replacing a corroded run you finally traced down.
Tinned copper is the part that matters out here. Bare copper looks fine on day one, then the salt air and the damp down in the bilge start eating it, and a few seasons later you've got green, brittle strands and a voltage drop nobody can explain. The tin plating on every strand slows that corrosion way down, so your connections stay clean and your circuits keep carrying full current.
The stranded core keeps the wire flexible. That's a real help when you're fishing a run behind a console, around a bulkhead, or through a length of conduit. Solid wire fights you in those spots. This doesn't.
At 14 gauge, this is sized for your lower-amp accessory circuits. Think nav and cabin lighting, gauges, blowers, small pumps, and switch-panel feeds. Always size the wire to the load and the length of the run. A long run drops more voltage, so step up a gauge when the distance grows. If you're not sure, wire it heavier rather than lighter.
The yellow jacket makes color-coding easy. Match it to an existing harness or to your own wiring diagram so the next person in that panel, maybe you in five years, can tell what's what. And when you need matched duplex or triplex for a two- or three-wire run, we stock those Sea-Dog spools too.
A 100-foot spool is a good amount to keep on the boat or on the shop shelf. Enough to knock out a full rewire on a small boat, or to keep a working length around for the repairs that always show up mid-season. Cut what you need, coil the rest, and you're set for the next job.

Frequently asked questions
Is the conductor tinned copper?
Yes. Every strand is tinned copper, which is what you want on a boat. The tin plating slows the corrosion that bare copper suffers in salt air and a damp bilge, so your connections and current-carrying capacity hold up over the seasons.
What circuits is 14 AWG wire good for?
14 gauge suits lower-amp accessory runs such as nav and cabin lighting, gauges, blowers, small pumps, and switch-panel feeds. Always size the wire to the load and the length of the run. Longer runs drop more voltage, so step up a gauge as the distance grows.
Is this single-conductor or duplex wire?
This is single-conductor primary wire, meaning one insulated conductor per spool. It's used for individual DC runs. If you need a two- or three-wire jacketed cable, look at our Sea-Dog duplex and triplex spools instead.
How much wire is on the spool?
Each spool holds 100 feet. That's enough to handle a full rewire on a smaller boat or to keep a working length on the shelf for the repairs that come up mid-season.
Will it work on a 12-volt system?
Yes. It's standard primary wire for 12V and 24V DC systems, which covers the vast majority of boats.
Does the yellow color mean a specific circuit?
Color mainly helps you keep runs organized and easy to trace later. Match the yellow to your existing harness or your own wiring diagram so anyone opening that panel can tell one circuit from another.
