Ancor 14/3 250' Spool Bilge Pump Cable - Round Jacket

The Ancor 14/3 250' Spool Bilge Pump Cable – Round Jacket is a marine-grade electrical conductor built for serious boaters and vessel owners who demand reliability below deck. After years running bilge systems on everything from center consoles to offshore cruisers, you learn fast that cheap wiring fails when water and salt air combine. This 250-foot spool delivers the premium tinned copper and water-resistant jacket construction that keeps your bilge pump running when conditions turn rough, whether you're anchored in a chop or tied up during winter storage.

Built to SJTOW-A specifications, this cable features oil-resistant insulation and a robust round jacket rated for water immersion—critical when bilge pump wiring sits inches from the bilge itself. The 14-gauge conductors (14/3 AWG) with black, brown, and red color-coding are sized perfectly for 12-volt and 24-volt bilge pump circuits, allowing safe current delivery without voltage drop over the full 250-foot length. Tinned copper resists corrosion from saltwater spray and moisture, extending service life far beyond standard bare-copper alternatives. The round jacket design distributes abrasion resistance uniformly, protecting conductors from chafing against hull stringers, fuel tanks, and engine components during rough seas.

This spool suits boat builders, repair technicians, and experienced DIY installers running new bilge systems or replacing worn factory harnesses on larger vessels. The 250-foot length handles multi-compartment bilge installations or runs from the engine room to topside switch panels without mid-span splices. Standard bilge pump systems operate at 12V or 24V, and this cable's gauge and insulation rating accommodate both voltage classes safely. Installation requires basic crimping tools and marine connectors—keep spares aboard, as proper termination ensures watertight integrity in pump circuits where failure means taking on water.
