Ancor Green 18 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 250'

Ancor Green 18 AWG Tinned Copper Wire in 250-foot spools is the marine-grade electrical standard for serious boaters, anglers, and water-based operators who demand reliability in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments. This tinned copper construction is engineered specifically for marine applications where corrosion resistance and long-term durability are non-negotiable. Whether you're rewiring a fishing boat's electrical system, installing bilge pump circuits, or upgrading navigation lighting, this wire meets or exceeds UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter boat (CFR Title 46) certification standards—the same specifications required for commercial vessels.

The 18 AWG gauge provides optimal current-carrying capacity for mid-range circuit loads commonly found in auxiliary systems, trim and tilt motors, navigation systems, and cabin lighting on recreational and professional vessels. Tinned copper stranding resists oxidation far longer than bare copper—a critical advantage when saltwater spray, humidity, and thermal cycling attack your boat's wiring year-round. Premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V ensures protection against moisture intrusion and electrical fault conditions, while the 250-foot spool length allows flexible routing and eliminates wasteful short-length purchases for comprehensive marine rewiring or repair projects.

This wire is ideal for boaters performing DIY maintenance, commercial fishing operations, and marine electricians building or retrofitting 12V and 24V DC systems below deck. Its compatibility with standard marine connectors, terminal blocks, and distribution panels makes installation straightforward for anyone familiar with basic boat wiring practices. The 2.85-pound spool weight and compact packaging fit easily in boat lockers or service kits, making it the go-to choice for emergency repairs and planned upgrades on the water or at the dock.
