Sea-Dog 14/2 AWG Duplex Marine Wire, 100 ft Red/Black
Sea-Dog 14/2 AWG Duplex Marine Wire, 100 ft Red/Black — Product description
Sea-Dog's 14/2 AWG marine duplex wire, 100 feet of stranded tinned copper in a flat red-and-black PVC jacket. UL listed and built to ABYC standards, it's the right wire for nav lights, pumps, and accessory circuits that have to survive a wet bilge. Tinned strands resist the corrosion that kills automotive wire.
This is Sea-Dog's 14/2 AWG duplex wire in a 100-foot roll, and it's the kind of wire you want running through a boat. Two 14-gauge conductors, one red and one black, sealed together in a flat PVC jacket. Both conductors are stranded tinned copper, which is the part that matters most out on the water. Tinning keeps the copper from corroding when moisture finds its way in, and on a boat, moisture always finds its way in.
Fourteen-gauge duplex is a workhorse size. It's a good fit for accessory circuits: nav lights, cabin lights, a bilge pump, a small fan, gauges. The red-and-black pairing keeps your positive and negative runs obvious, so when you're tracing a circuit six months from now you're not guessing which lead is which. The flat encasement lays clean against a stringer or through a chase, and it's easier to secure with clips than two separate loose wires.
Because it's UL listed and built to ABYC standards, it's the right wire for a job that needs to pass a survey or an insurance inspection. Standard automotive wire uses bare copper that corrodes fast in a marine bilge. This doesn't. The stranded conductor also flexes better than solid wire, which matters when your boat is pounding through chop and everything's vibrating.
A 100-foot roll gives you room to do a real project. Rewire a helm, run new circuits to the bow, replace tired old runs that have gone green at the ends. You'll have cutoffs left over for the next small job, too. Keep it in the shop and you'll reach for it more than you'd think.
One note on install: strip it carefully so you don't nick the tinned strands, use adhesive-lined heat-shrink connectors at every joint, and support the run every 18 inches or so. Do that and this wire will outlast most of the gear it's feeding.
Key Features
- 14 AWG, 2-conductor duplex: sized for accessory circuits like nav lights, cabin lights, and small pumps.
- Stranded tinned copper conductor: resists the corrosion that kills bare-copper automotive wire in a marine environment.
- Flat PVC encasement with red and black conductors: keeps positive and negative obvious and lays clean along a stringer or chase.
- 100-foot roll: enough to rewire a helm or run several new circuits with cutoffs to spare.
- UL listed and ABYC certified: meets the standard surveyors and insurers expect on a boat.
- Stranded construction: flexes and handles vibration better than solid wire.

Frequently asked questions
What gauge and how many conductors is this wire?
It's 14 AWG with two conductors, a red and a black, in a single flat duplex jacket.
Is the copper tinned?
Yes. Both conductors are stranded tinned copper, which resists corrosion far better than bare copper when moisture gets into a circuit.
How long is the roll?
It's a 100-foot roll.
Is it certified for marine use?
Yes. It's UL listed and built to ABYC standards, so it's appropriate for work that needs to pass a survey or an insurance inspection.
What's this wire typically used for?
Fourteen-gauge duplex is a common pick for accessory circuits, nav and cabin lights, bilge pumps, small fans and gauges, anywhere you're running a positive and a negative together.
What insulation does it use?
A PVC jacket over both conductors, with the two leads encased flat side by side.
Why red and black conductors?
The color pairing marks your positive (red) and negative (black) runs so a circuit is easy to trace later.
