    Here is another link to the BIA color codes. My books are the same.

    Ebay usually has decent prices on true tinned marine wire.

    Repeated the entire length of the wire run. Hot foil stamped (no ink). On the wire material: Yes, you are right on the SAE gage. Simply design your wire circuits around your peak load requirements. Yes, tinned is better. But only if you have not properly installed your terminals and protected the termination point. Therefore, liberal use of dual wall shrink tube. Look at it this way, even the finest auto manufacturers use SAE wire under the hoods of some very expensive vehicles. They follow strict manufacture and installation procedures. Can you say QS9000?

    Why not Boaters World? They are going out of business and have wire by them mile. Let me know and I'll check the 2 by me- was in there Thursday and they had a ton left of all flavors and fittings. Shipping may even cost out but doubt it.
