It's UL and ABYC certified, so it's built for the DC circuits on your boat where plain automotive wire won't hold up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the wire you reach for when you're running higher-current DC circuits on a boat and you want it done right. Sea-Dog's 10 AWG primary wire uses a stranded, tinned copper conductor. That tin coating is the whole point out here. Bare copper corrodes fast once salt air and bilge moisture get to it, and corroded strands mean voltage drop and heat. Tinned copper shrugs that off and keeps carrying current for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get a full 100-foot spool, which is plenty for a rewire, a windlass feed, a bilge pump run, or several shorter circuits with wire to spare. The dark blue jacket lets you color-code your system so the next person into the panel, maybe you a few seasons from now, can actually trace what goes where. Pick a scheme and keep it consistent across the boat and troubleshooting gets a lot less painful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductor is stranded rather than solid, so it flexes and routes cleanly behind the dash, through conduit, and around the tight bends you always end up making in a real install. Stranded wire also handles the constant vibration and flex of a boat far better than solid, which can work-harden and crack over time. The PVC insulation stands up to the wet, oily conditions down in the bilge and engine bay. And because it's UL and ABYC certified, it meets the standards surveyors and insurers look for on marine DC wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen gauge is a common choice for circuits pulling more amperage than a lighting run, think pumps, blowers, accessory feeds, and moderate-length battery leads. If you're not sure a given circuit needs 10 AWG, size it against the load and the run length using an ABYC ampacity chart. Remember that voltage drop on a long run matters as much as raw ampacity, so measure the full distance out and back before you commit. When in doubt, going one size heavier never hurt anybody. Give us a call and we'll help you sort it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 AWG stranded conductor handles higher-current DC circuits like pumps, blowers, and accessory feeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper strands resist the corrosion that kills bare copper in salt air and bilge moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100-foot spool covers a full rewire or several shorter runs with wire left over\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC insulation holds up to wet, oily conditions in the bilge and engine bay\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDark blue jacket makes color-coding your DC system quick to trace later\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL and ABYC certified to meet marine DC wiring standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStranded construction stays flexible for tight routing behind the dash and through conduit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Sea-Dog reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat gauge is this wire?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 10 AWG (10 gauge), a common size for DC circuits that pull more current than a basic lighting run, such as pumps, blowers, and accessory feeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the copper tinned?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
