Topic: wiring gauge
I am in the process of rewiring my mast for a new tricolor/anchor and streaming lights. After being up be the boat for past 3 days of work, I forgot to check what wire guage was used in the mast. I am think 14 gauge but unsure. Anyone know? Also, since I am here, should one get the wiring in insulation form or by the single wire? If I do it the insulation way, I will need to buy a flat triplex 40 feet (@13 meters) for trilight/anchor and duplex 30 feet for steaming light (@9 meters). I am just trying to get the wiring down to base of the mast where I have a 3-prung plug set up. I will be grounding the wiring to the mast (need to make sure the mast is ground also). Comments? jklee
