You'd have to see the installation to understand why I went with that type of wire - stranded wouldn't have worked as well. Solid wire is generally considered to be inappropriate on boats or any other application subject to vibration for the reason that even small amounts of vibration will eventually cause the solid copper to work harden and crack. Tinned wire with fine strands, commonly available in West Marine, is the right stuff. UV protection requires some of that corrugated plastic tubing with the split side. I'm with you on that brother. |
