    Live well wire broke

    my live well wire broke, i do not want to replace entire cable, just the wire.
    Does any one now what size stainless steel the wire is?
    And where I may obtain it.
    I do not seem to finde any help in the search engines.
    Thank You
    Mr Steve Wayne

    Would splicing the broken wire be an option?

    most likely 16 or 18 gauge. You need copper, not stainless. Splice the wire by soldering, put some shrink tube over the wire, shrink it and your good to go. Nice secure waterproof connection. You will never be able to get great connections with stainless steel wire.

    Do you mean the remote control or the electrical wire? I'm thinking you mean the remote control?
    when you see this on the water stop and say hi.

    Never seen one right size myself, cable isn’t so hard, tie heavy string to it and pull cable out, tie to new one and pull in

    my advice would be to order a new cable and fix it right.

    Yep, if it's DIY, ends have to be bent.
