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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwelve 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12 AWG stranded conductor handles bilge pumps, livewell pumps, and most DC accessory runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper resists corrosion from salt air and moisture, unlike bare copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC insulation stays flexible for routing through rigging tubes and behind consoles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25 foot spool in black, a natural pick for DC ground or negative legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStranded construction takes the vibration and flexing of a boat\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 and length is this spool?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 12 AWG wire on a 25 foot spool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs the copper tinned?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
