Ancor Yellow 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 25'

Ancor Yellow 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire in a 25-foot spool is engineered for marine electrical systems where reliability and longevity are non-negotiable. Built to exceed UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard standards for charter vessels, this tinned copper wire delivers the corrosion resistance and current-carrying capacity that serious boaters depend on for systems powering navigation, lighting, and auxiliary equipment.

The 16 AWG gauge provides optimal balance for mid-amperage circuits common in fishing boats and recreational cruisers—sufficient capacity for instrument panels, bilge pumps, and deck lighting without over-sizing conductors. Premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V, 105°C dry and 75°C wet environment ensures reliable performance in the temperature and moisture extremes encountered on the water. The tinned copper construction resists oxidation from salt spray, battery acid, and petroleum products, while the flexible jacket remains pliable at temperatures down to -40°F, critical for boats stored in northern climates or operating year-round in cold regions.

This 25-foot length covers most single-circuit repairs and upgrades—ideal for rewiring a helm station, running new circuits to newly installed electronics, or replacing damaged sections without excessive waste. Weekend fishermen upgrading trolling motor circuits, cruising sailors adding redundant systems, and professional boat service technicians all rely on Ancor's marine-grade wire for installations that won't degrade in the harsh marine environment. Yellow insulation aids circuit identification during installation and troubleshooting.

When spec'ing electrical upgrades or repairs for saltwater use, Ancor marine wire eliminates the guesswork—it's purpose-built for boats, not adapted from general-purpose automotive or residential stock that fails prematurely in marine conditions.
