Sea-Dog 12 AWG Black Marine Primary Wire 25 ft | 8012010
Sea-Dog 12 AWG Black Marine Primary Wire 25 ft | 8012010 — Product description
Sea-Dog's 12 gauge primary wire, a 25 foot spool in black. Stranded tinned copper with PVC insulation, so it flexes for routing and shrugs off the salt air and moisture that eat bare copper. A solid, honest choice for DC accessory runs on any boat.
This is Sea-Dog's 12 gauge primary wire, a 25 foot spool in black. The conductor is stranded tinned copper, which is what you want on a boat. Bare copper corrodes fast once salt air and moisture get to it. The tin coating slows that down and keeps your connections clean for years.
Twelve gauge is a good middle-of-the-road size. It'll handle bilge pumps, livewell pumps, nav lights, and most accessory circuits without heating up on a reasonable run. The PVC insulation is flexible enough to pull through a rigging tube or route behind a console without fighting you.
Black is the usual pick for a DC ground or negative leg, so grab a matching color spool for your positive side and keep the harness easy to trace later. It's stranded, not solid, so it takes the vibration and flexing that boat wiring lives with. Simple wire that just does the job.

Frequently asked questions
What gauge and length is this spool?
It's 12 AWG wire on a 25 foot spool.
Is the copper tinned?
Yes. The conductor is tinned copper, which resists the corrosion that eats bare copper on a boat.
What can I run on 12 gauge?
It's a good size for bilge and livewell pumps, nav lights, and most accessory circuits on a typical run. For long runs or higher loads, size up and check a marine wire gauge chart.
Why black?
Black is the common color for a DC negative or ground leg. Pair it with a colored spool for your positive side so the harness stays easy to trace.
Is it solid or stranded?
Stranded. That's what you want on a boat, since it flexes and handles vibration far better than solid wire.
