Sea-Dog 16 AWG Black Marine Primary Wire 25ft | 8016010
Sea-Dog 16 AWG Black Marine Primary Wire 25ft | 8016010 — Product description
Sea-Dog's 16-gauge primary wire in black, 25 feet on a spool. Tinned copper under PVC insulation, so it shrugs off the salt and moisture that eat ordinary wire alive. It's UL and ABYC certified, and it's the right size for lighting, nav circuits, and accessory runs on just about any boat.
This is Sea-Dog's 16-gauge primary wire in black, sold as a 25-foot spool. It's tinned copper under PVC insulation, and that tinning is the whole reason you reach for marine wire instead of automotive wire from the auto parts store. Salt air and bilge moisture eat bare copper alive. The tin coating on every strand holds off corrosion for years, so your connections stay bright and your voltage drop stays low.
Sixteen gauge is the sweet spot for a lot of onboard runs. Cabin lights, nav light circuits, accessory feeds, bilge blower wiring, that kind of thing. It's stranded, not solid, so it flexes around corners and takes the constant vibration of a running boat without work-hardening and cracking.
And it carries the UL and ABYC certification marks, which matters if an insurance surveyor ever looks at your rig. Twenty-five feet covers most single circuits with a little to spare. Need another color for a positive run or a ground? Sea-Dog stocks the same wire across the full range.

Frequently asked questions
What gauge is this wire and what is it good for?
It's 16 AWG. That size handles cabin and nav lighting, bilge blowers, and low-to-moderate current accessory feeds on most boats.
Is this real marine wire or automotive wire?
Marine. Every strand is tinned copper, which fends off the salt and moisture corrosion that kills bare automotive wire on a boat.
Is it stranded or solid?
Stranded. It flexes around corners and takes constant engine vibration without work-hardening and cracking.
Is it UL and ABYC certified?
Yes. The manufacturer spec confirms UL and ABYC certification, which is what an insurance surveyor wants to see.
How much wire is on the spool?
25 feet, enough to cover most single circuits with a bit left over.
