Ancor Green 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 1,000'

Ancor Green 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire in 1,000-foot spools is purpose-built for marine electrical systems where corrosion resistance and long-term reliability are non-negotiable. This marine-grade wire exceeds UL 1426, ABYC, and U.S. Coast Guard standards (CFR Title 46), making it the standard choice for boat wiring, fishing vessel electrical upgrades, and coastal installations where saltwater exposure demands superior protection.

The wire's 16 AWG size handles moderate current loads in 12-volt and 24-volt systems common to recreational and commercial boats. Tinned copper construction provides the corrosion resistance that bare copper cannot match in marine environments, while premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V withstands 105°C in dry conditions and 75°C in wet conditions—critical for engine rooms and below-deck installations. Flexibility at extreme cold (-40°F/-40°C) ensures the wire remains workable during winter commissioning or off-season storage, and the insulation resists salt spray, battery acid, fuel, oil, heat, abrasion, and UV radiation from deck exposure.

This wire serves weekend anglers rewiring console electronics, livewell systems, and navigation lights, as well as serious offshore operators upgrading fuel delivery, bilge pump circuits, and radar mounts. The 1,000-foot spool length minimizes splice points—a key advantage in salt air where every connection becomes a corrosion risk. Whether replacing degraded original wiring or building new circuits from scratch, 16 AWG tinned copper handles the electrical demands of battery chargers, auxiliary pumps, and automated systems without the premature failure that affects standard marine wire in harsh conditions.
