Ancor Black 16 AWG 250ft Tinned Copper Wire

This 250 ft spool of Ancor 16 AWG wire in black covers light-duty circuits like navigation lights, small pumps, and electronics power leads. Black has traditionally been used for DC negative and is still common on many boats. A 250 ft spool is enough for a full rewiring project.

The wire is made of tinned copper stranding, which resists the corrosion and electrolysis that degrade bare copper on the water. Ultra-flexible Type 3 stranding holds up to vibration and flexing without fatiguing. That matters on boats, where wiring moves every time the hull does.

Ancor's premium vinyl insulation stays flexible in cold weather and resists salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, and UV. It is rated 600V, 105°C dry and 75°C wet. It exceeds UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard charter boat standards. Browse more Marine Wire for other colors.
