    A wiring question

    I've decided to go with 18 gage, especially since I forgot to add the LED courtesy lights which bump that total amps to 3/8 A.

    I'm using the 14 ga for the fish finders and the bilge pump.

    A wiring question

    I just realized that I forgot about the 4 courtesy lights I want to install. It bumps the total amps to a whopping 3/8 amp! While I think about it... fuses. 1, 3 or 5 amps? I've read a few articles already, and they all say one or the other. The respective light groups will have their own...

    dwco... I've priced a 100' spool of 18ga marine grade, it's about $30 cheaper than the 14 ga I already bought, so yeah.

    I'll err on the side of caution and run 18 gage. Thanks for your help.

    A wiring question

    I just did the math and all 3 light combined draw less than 1/4 amp. The longest run of wire will be the anchor light. Both wires will be about 12' long, so 24' total. The navigation lights will both be under 16' total length.

    Yes they are LEDs, all lights draw less than 1 amp. The navigation lights combined, draw just over 1/4 amp.

    A wiring question

    I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. Thanks for letting me join. I'm doing a second (and hopefully better) restoration and upgrade of my 1964 Naden 14 ft aluminum V bottom. My question is about wiring. The navigation and anchor lights have 22 ga leads. Should I match the wire gage...
