Can I use Solid wire for rewiring sailboat if not WHY?
The normal rolling, rocking and especially pounding that boats do can be
enough to impart some motion on any unsupported wires. It doesn't have to be much, just repeated enough times so that the point where the wire is flexing work hardens. There really is a reason people use the more expensive stranded & tinned wire on boats. Ytter wrote: WHAT KIND OF VIBRATIONS YOU HAVE ON THE SAILBOAT EXCEPT ENGINE AREA ?

Anyone who suggested you use solid wire is not someone you want to listen to again. how many do you need? want more? waves lapping, hobby horsing, harmonics from wind against the rigging, harmonics against the sails, harmonics against the hull, harmonics from climbing the wave ... .... plus second harmonics of all of the above plus others .. plus third harmonics of all of the above plus others .. .... plus fourth harmonics ... |
