It's the everyday wire you reach for when you're running a new circuit, chasing down a bad ground, or color-coding a panel. Flexible, corrosion-resistant, and easy to work with at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea-Dog's 14 AWG gray primary wire is the kind of hookup wire you keep on the boat and reach for again and again. You get 100 feet of single-conductor, stranded tinned-copper wire on one spool, jacketed in gray PVC insulation. It's built for the everyday jobs: running a new accessory circuit, feeding a set of gauges, wiring in a light, or replacing a corroded run you finally got tired of fighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conductor is tinned copper, and that matters more on a boat than anywhere else. Bare copper corrodes fast in salt air, and once the strands start to green up, resistance climbs and your connections get flaky. The tin coating on every strand slows that down, so the wire holds a clean connection at the crimp and stays flexible for years. It's the same reason we steer people toward tinned wire for anything below deck or anywhere spray can reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's stranded rather than solid, this wire bends around bulkheads and pulls through tight chases without kinking. That flexibility makes a real difference when you're feeding a run behind a console or snaking wire through a rigging tube. Solid wire fights you in those spots. Stranded doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gray insulation is there for circuit identification. When you're staring at a bundle behind the dash six months from now, color-coding is what keeps you sane. Pick a color per circuit type, stay consistent, and future troubleshooting gets a whole lot easier. Sea-Dog runs this same 14-gauge wire in a full range of colors, so you can wire an entire panel with a matched set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFourteen gauge is a workhorse size. It handles lighting, gauges, pumps, and most moderate-draw accessories on a 12V system with room to spare. When you route it, leave a small service loop at each end so you've got slack to re-terminate later, and support the run every foot or so with cushioned clamps to keep it from chafing against a sharp edge. Do that, and this wire will outlast most of what you connect it to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14 AWG single-conductor primary wire, sized for lighting, gauges, pumps, and most moderate-draw 12V accessory circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStranded tinned-copper conductor resists salt-air corrosion and keeps a clean, low-resistance connection at every crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStranded construction stays flexible, so it bends around bulkheads and pulls through tight chases without kinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGray PVC insulation for clean circuit identification and consistent color-coding behind the dash\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenerous 100-foot spool covers a full panel or several separate runs from one roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart of Sea-Dog's matched color range, so you can wire an entire system with coordinated colors\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\u003eIs this wire tinned or bare copper?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's tinned copper.
