Traveling on the sea has a lot of risks just like land travel; we must secure every inch of our vessel for a sound and secure journey on board. Also,What's in Our 8 AWG Marine Battery Cable and Why It's Worth It? Articles Cables and Marine wires are one of the most important things to consider. There are some considerations when finding a suitable wire for any installation. For this particular case of boats and their wiring needs, we have to consider the immediate environment surrounding these installations.

First and foremost, obviously we have to consider that you’re traveling around the waters so it would be handy to choose a wire that is rated as water resistant. Another thing is the vibration of the boat while it is moving. When the boat or vessel vibrates, it produces pressure. Thus this shows that the motive installation as well and those type of installs call for a stranded wire so the strands can absorb the vibration and provide a strain relief that avoids breakage. Next is the environmental issue surrounding the marine wiring is the temperature of the engine area. As we all know the machinery radiator produces a good amount of heat, so you can expect a temperature of 42 plus at all times. Depending upon your course of sailing, the temperature changes and so does the humidity. With the above mentioned, we must use wires that are rated to operate at high temperatures.
