Sea-Dog 18 AWG Tinned Wire, Yellow 100ft | 8018032
Sea-Dog 18 AWG Tinned Wire, Yellow 100ft | 8018032 — Product description
Sea-Dog's 18-gauge primary wire comes on a bright yellow 100-foot spool with a tinned copper conductor, so it holds up to the damp, salty life aboard a boat. The stranded build stays flexible enough to route through tight rigging runs. A handy everyday size for lighting, gauges, and low-draw accessory circuits.
When you're wiring up a boat, the wire itself matters as much as the connections you crimp onto it. Sea-Dog's 18-gauge primary wire uses a tinned copper conductor, and that tinning is the whole point out here. Bare copper corrodes fast once salt air and bilge moisture get to it. Tinned strands shrug that off and keep a clean electrical path for years.
This is a 100-foot spool of yellow 18 AWG, stranded rather than solid, so it bends around bulkheads and feeds into panel boxes without fighting you. Yellow is a common pick for a specific leg of your color code, so grab the spool that keeps your runs organized and easy to trace down the road.
It's a good gauge for the light stuff. Think cabin lights, courtesy lights, gauges, accessory switches, and other low-draw runs. For bigger loads like a windlass or a trolling motor, step up to a heavier gauge. But for the dozens of small circuits on any boat, this is the everyday spool you'll keep reaching for.

Frequently asked questions
What gauge is this wire and what's it good for?
It's 18 AWG, which suits low-draw circuits like cabin and courtesy lights, gauges, and accessory switches. For high-current runs such as a windlass or trolling motor, you'll want a heavier gauge.
Is the conductor tinned?
Yes. The copper strands are tinned, which is exactly what you want on a boat. Tinning resists the corrosion that eats bare copper once salt air and moisture get to it.
Is it stranded or solid core?
Stranded. That keeps it flexible so you can route it around bulkheads and into tight panel boxes without it kinking.
How much wire is on the spool?
100 feet of yellow 18-gauge primary wire per spool.
