Sea-Dog 18 AWG Red Primary Wire 100ft | 8018022
Sea-Dog 18 AWG Red Primary Wire 100ft | 8018022 — Product description
If you're wiring up 12-volt gear on the boat, this is the red conductor you reach for. Sea-Dog's 18 gauge primary wire is stranded tinned copper on a 100 foot spool, so it stays flexible and shrugs off the corrosion that kills bare copper in a damp bilge.
Sea-Dog's 18 AWG primary wire is the everyday red conductor for 12-volt runs on the boat. It's stranded tinned copper, which is the part that matters out on the water. The tin coating on every strand is what keeps corrosion from creeping up the wire and turning a clean connection into a high-resistance headache a season or two down the road.
The 18 gauge size is right for low-draw circuits. Think cabin lights, courtesy lights, small pumps, gauges, and instrument feeds. It's not for a windlass or a big inverter run, so match the gauge to the load. The 100 foot spool gives you plenty to rig a small boat or keep on the shelf for the next project.
Red is the go-to color for positive runs, so you can keep your wiring color-coded and sane when you're tracing a fault later. Strip it, crimp it, heat-shrink it, and you're done.

Frequently asked questions
What gauge is this wire and what's it good for?
It's 18 AWG, which suits low-draw 12-volt circuits like cabin and courtesy lights, gauges, instrument feeds, and small pumps. For higher-draw gear like a windlass, step up to a heavier gauge.
Why tinned copper instead of bare copper?
Every strand is coated in tin, so it fights the corrosion that eats bare copper in a damp, salty environment. It keeps your connections clean and low-resistance for the long haul.
How much wire is on the spool?
100 feet. Plenty for wiring a small boat or keeping on hand for the next project.
What color is it and what's that for?
Red. It's the standard color for positive runs, which keeps your wiring color-coded so faults are easier to trace down the road.
