I've recently wondered about the expense of tinned wire when all my wiring
problems come from the terminals and connections on my 30 year old boat with
original wiring.
I know tinned is the latest and greatest, but not too many years back the
latest and greatest was lamp cord. I'm sure there is a new latest and
greatest just around the corner........

Use tinned, stranded wire. The stranded wire is more flexible and less
likely to break. The tinning prevents salt water/air from seeping under
the insulation and corroding the wire.
