Rewiring boat

[ifishinxs]

I don't mind it being overkill by using the heavy guage extension chords. The Ancor Marine Duplex 10/2 wire is tough to find, and beyond expensive, more expensive than the heavy duty extension chord. Is there a disadvantage to using a heavy duty extension chord and cutting the ends off?

There are other companies beside anchor that make marine grade wire. Keep looking you’ll find it. If you really want problems use that Home Depot extension cord. Real professional! I can’t count how much automotive wire I have pulled out of boats from guys wanting to save a few bucks on wire. Heck I even tried it in my younger less experienced life years ago. It’s no bueno!

Ancoe 10/2 duplex flat is $33.92 for a 25' roll and $90.51 for a 100' roll.

The 10/2 extension cord I bought recently was $90.00 or so but it was 100' long.

Use plastic split wire loommto cover wiring. I do that with truck to 7 pn connectors ( have 2 each side, 1 for trailer with brakes.camper so dedicated 12v power to trailer battery for break waway switch. other is standard wired for pulling brake less trailers, and all trailer wiring loomed also, so no rubbing , shoring out issues
