Ancor Light Blue 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 100'

Ancor Light Blue 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire is a marine-grade electrical conductor engineered to meet the demanding standards of saltwater boating applications. Available in 100-foot spools, this tinned copper wire combines corrosion resistance with exceptional durability for rewiring projects, trolling motor installations, battery connections, and bilge pump circuits aboard fishing vessels and cruising boats.

The wire exceeds UL 1426, ABYC (American Boat and Yacht Council), and US Coast Guard Charter Boat specifications, meeting CFR Title 46 regulatory requirements for safety-critical electrical systems. Premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V provides adequate capacity for most 12V and 24V marine circuits. The insulation remains flexible in extreme cold (-40°F) and maintains integrity when wet (75°C wet rating), critical for bilge areas and below-deck installations. Tinned copper construction resists salt spray, battery acid, diesel fuel, and UV radiation—the core failure points for standard copper wire in coastal environments.

16 AWG gauge supports moderate current loads typical of navigation lights, cabin lights, and fish finder wiring on boats under 35 feet. The 100-foot length suits single-run replacements or multi-circuit projects without requiring additional spools. This wire is the correct choice for weekend anglers rewiring older fishing boats, offshore captains upgrading electronics harnesses, and boaters performing insurance-compliant electrical repairs that demand coast guard-approved materials.

Ancor marine wire is stocked by boatyards, marine service centers, and serious boat owners for electrical reliability in salt air. The light blue color coding aids circuit identification during installation and troubleshooting, reducing errors in multi-circuit systems.
