One thing I have noticed after working with several brands is that marine
grade wire is built up from much smaller strands than the standard wire you
get at Home Despot. That makes them more flexable and less prone to fatigue
breaks.

If you do some looking you can find some great deals of marine wire. I
figure I have more than a mile of wire in Rutu and have never paid much more
than 50% of list price.
