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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixteen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 AWG stranded tinned copper conductor, sized for lighting, nav, and accessory circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper resists salt and moisture corrosion far longer than bare copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePVC insulation in black, ready for ground runs or color-coded wiring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25-foot spool covers most single onboard circuits with a little to spare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUL and ABYC certified for marine electrical compliance\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 is this wire and what is it good for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 16 AWG.
