Can I use Solid wire for rewiring sailboat if not WHY?
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........

Thank You, Ytter 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.
