I will take the blame for that - I should have used red/black shrink
wrap to designate hot and ground. I just assumed that black is ground
in most wiring schemes meaning that white would be hot - 12 Vdc what
else could it be? :)

The color codes are different for AC and DC wiring. To make matters
worse, Europeans seem to be using Red for (+) and Yellow for (-).

I know. The only thing available to me in that gauge was what I used
- and it was a twelve foot run from where the battery placed in the
bow to the fuse panel. The only way to run the cable from the battery
to the fuse panel was under the ribs along the floor through a drain
channel. Round stranded cable of that gauge wouldn't fit right, but
the flat was a perfect fit.

Go with what works. :)


Yup...fits like a glove. I don't have to worry about walking on it... it's
as if the drain channel was made for that size wire.
