This is Sea-Dog's 14 AWG green primary wire, 100 feet of stranded tinned-copper conductor in green PVC insulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running new circuits on your boat or restocking the shop for the season, a full spool of quality primary wire is one of those things you're always glad to have on hand. This is Sea-Dog's 14 AWG green primary wire, 100 feet of stranded tinned-copper conductor wrapped in green PVC insulation, all on a single spool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14-gauge size is the workhorse of small-boat wiring. It's the right conductor for low-amperage DC runs like cabin and courtesy lights, small pumps, fans, gauges, and accessory circuits. Not for your main battery leads or a windlass, but for the dozen little circuits that make a boat livable, it's exactly what you reach for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat matters most out here is the tinned copper. Plain copper looks fine on day one, but salt air and bilge moisture work their way into the strands and turn bare copper green and brittle over a season or two. Every strand in this wire is tinned, so it shrugs off corrosion and keeps a clean connection at the terminal years down the road. The conductor is stranded, not solid, so it flexes around tight bends behind the dash and takes engine and hull vibration without work-hardening and cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen is the color boaters reach for on grounding and bonding runs, so a spool of it makes it easy to keep your negative and bonding wires straight from the positive side of the circuit. Color-coding your runs now saves the next person, maybe future you, a lot of guessing with a test light later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to know: this is single-conductor primary wire, one wire on the spool. If you need a two-wire or three-wire run in a single jacket, look at our Sea-Dog duplex and triplex spools instead. And if you're not sure 14 gauge is right for your run length and load, give us a call. Wire size depends on both the amps you're pulling and how far the wire has to travel, and we're happy to talk it through.\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 conductor sized for low-amperage DC circuits like lights, pumps, fans, and gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper strands resist the corrosion that turns bare copper green and brittle in salt air\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStranded core flexes around tight bends behind the dash and takes vibration without cracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC insulation stands up to the abrasion and moisture of bilge and cable runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGreen jacket makes it easy to color-code grounding and bonding runs so they're simple to trace\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100-foot spool keeps enough wire on hand for a full rewire or years of small repairs\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\u003eHow many amps can 14 gauge wire carry?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt depends on your run. Ampacity is set by both the current you're pulling and how far the wire travels, since a longer run means more voltage drop. For a boat, size it off the ABYC ampacity and 3-percent voltage-drop tables for your load and length rather than a single number.
