{"product_id":"sea-dog-18-awg-tinned-wire-yellow-100ft-8018032","title":"Sea-Dog 18 AWG Tinned Wire, Yellow 100ft | 8018032","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eSea-Dog's 18-gauge primary wire comes on a bright yellow 100-foot spool with a tinned copper conductor, so it holds up to the damp, salty life aboard a boat. The stranded build stays flexible enough to route through tight rigging runs. A handy everyday size for lighting, gauges, and low-draw accessory circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you're wiring up a boat, the wire itself matters as much as the connections you crimp onto it. Sea-Dog's 18-gauge primary wire uses a tinned copper conductor, and that tinning is the whole point out here. Bare copper corrodes fast once salt air and bilge moisture get to it. Tinned strands shrug that off and keep a clean electrical path for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 100-foot spool of yellow 18 AWG, stranded rather than solid, so it bends around bulkheads and feeds into panel boxes without fighting you. Yellow is a common pick for a specific leg of your color code, so grab the spool that keeps your runs organized and easy to trace down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a good gauge for the light stuff. Think cabin lights, courtesy lights, gauges, accessory switches, and other low-draw runs. For bigger loads like a windlass or a trolling motor, step up to a heavier gauge. But for the dozens of small circuits on any boat, this is the everyday spool you'll keep reaching for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 AWG stranded conductor bends easily through tight rigging runs and into panel boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTinned copper conductor resists the corrosion that eats bare copper in salt air and bilge moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100-foot spool covers plenty of small accessory and lighting circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright yellow jacket helps keep your wiring color code organized and easy to trace\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized right for low-draw runs: cabin lights, gauges, switches, and accessories\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's it good for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's 18 AWG, which suits low-draw circuits like cabin and courtesy lights, gauges, and accessory switches.
