Lamp cord...... rigghhhttt.......


Well, for starters, it's not lamp cord. It's used on farms for
repairs to tractors, milking machines and a ton of other uses where
the capacity is less than required for #8.


It isn't just about capacity. It is that your motor turns and vibrates. In
a car, it doesn't turn or vibrate as much. Nether in your home. And is the
"lamp" cord braded and have a metal composition that flexes when you turn
the motor? Does it have enough braded strands enough to take 5000 turns?

I can point you to a number of manufacturers, includin Grady White who
use #10 cable in zip cord format for easier wire runs.


They just might. From the fuse box to the non-moving instrument panel. But
this dude is attaching it to a pivoting motor.


The engine uses a molded connector on flexible cable supplied from
Johnson.

There is no solid wire to the engine.

Any more comments?
