Default Type 2 vs. Type 3 Wire

Yea, what he said. A good source for wire is Jamestown Distributors, BTW.

I'd also suggest a good ratcheting double crimper and nylon insulated
terminals. Good source for both is http://www.terminaltown.com/

The guy at the local marina is a cheap SOB. Type 2 is used by some
production builders to save some money but you should always use the
more flexable Type 3. Ancor, Dearborn, Berkshire and most other marine
primary wire is Type 3. Use good quality adhesive lined heat shrink
crimp terminals where ever there is a risk that a connection might get
dunked.

In a properly made joint vibration is much more of a hazard than wicking.
