Pacer Brown 16 AWG Primary Wire - 500'

The Pacer Brown 16 AWG Primary Wire – 500' is a marine-grade electrical conductor engineered for the demanding saltwater environment. Built from Type III class K tinned copper, this 500-foot spool delivers the corrosion resistance and flexibility that offshore and coastal boaters depend on for reliable electrical systems. The tinned copper construction resists oxidation and salt-air degradation far better than bare copper, extending service life in harsh conditions where standard automotive wire fails.

The 16 AWG gauge balances current-carrying capacity with practical handling for mid-range electrical loads common in marine applications—bilge pump circuits, navigation lighting, and auxiliary systems. Manufactured in the USA to meet stringent marine electrical specifications, this wire maintains flexibility even in cold conditions, making it easier to route through tight cabin spaces and along gunwales without cracking the insulation. The 500-foot length provides sufficient stock for rewiring projects or maintaining emergency repair kits aboard larger vessels.

Weekend anglers upgrading cabin lighting or fish-finder circuits, as well as serious offshore crews performing preventive electrical maintenance, choose tinned copper marine wire for its proven track record in saltwater service. Whether replacing corroded original wiring or building a new subsystem, the Pacer Brown 16 AWG wire meets the UL and American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) standards that govern marine electrical safety.

Pacer Group's reputation for marine-specific wire construction reflects the reality that boat electrical systems face salt spray, moisture, and vibration that automotive wiring cannot tolerate. This 500-foot spool is designed for boaters who understand that cutting corners on electrical wiring leads to equipment failures and safety risks at sea.
