- 10 AWG Marine Wire 10FT, 2-Conductor (Red & Black) Duplex Marine Grade Boat Cable, High-Purity Tinned Copper Stranded Electrical Wire for Boats, Marine & Automotive - Flexible PVC Jacket

I was adding some larger speakers to my boat and needed to upgrade the source wire while I was doing that, so I ordered this XRDS 10 AWG marine wire to do just that. The wire came coiled in a poly bag and the jacket is a nice bright white with the specs printed right on it. The pair of wires inside are color coded, as usual, and you can look closely to see this really is tinned copper, so great quality inside! I got a 30ft length and cut it in half so I had two 15ft runs to go to each of the two larger speakers. Pulling the wire was easy and it was nice and flexible but also thick enough that I wasn't worried about it getting snagged and cut on anything. Overall, great value for the money, compared to getting the same thing at your local boating box store.

XRDS has consistently been a good source of value priced cable with decent quality. This copper cored, 10awg cable is no exception. The tinned copper is good quality and flexible enough to run through tighter mobile installation spaces, and the jacketing is heavy duty to resist abrasion and damage from cleaners and chemicals. I stripped back a small section to show the individual wires which lie next to one another in a "duplex" configuration, and each is also well jacketed with resistance to nicking and cutting. Overall, This is a good option for affordably priced copper wire for Mobile and Marine use.

This 10 AWG marine grade duplex wire with tinned copper has been an excellent choice for my boat setup. Using 10 AWG is probably more than what my multiple 10 inch fish finders require, but I wanted to make sure the power delivery stayed clean with as little resistance as possible. The heavier gauge also gives me room for future upgrades without needing to rewire anything, which is a big plus when planning long term. The flexibility of this wire really stood out. Even with the thicker gauge, it bends easily and follows the path from the bow to the stern without fighting me. Running it from the fish finder at the front of the boat all the way back to the battery was smooth, and the insulation feels durable enough to handle the vibration and moisture that come with marine use. The tinned copper construction adds corrosion resistance, which is essential on the water. Overall, this wire performs exactly the way I hoped. It’s flexible, marine grade, and provides reliable power with plenty of capacity for whatever I might add later.

Nice heavy duty tinned copper that I cannuse for boat projects. I confirmed its tinned copper by scraping off some of the tin coating and also looking at the cut ends which you can see in the attached two photos. The tin coating seems very durable because it was very hard to scrape off. The jacket of the cable and insulation on the individual wires is also very thick and tough but not so much that the wire has any trouble being as flexible as it should be. I like the 10 gauge for boat projects because its a good balance between current carrying capacity while still being flexible. Overall I think this wire will work really well aboard for my various projects and came in enough length to last a good while while being heavy duty enough to stand up to harsh conditions, great product!!

I will be replacing and upgrading my rocker switch panel and ordered this to replace the old wiring. here are a couple observations 1. the wire is a good quality 2 strand marine wire (see pic 1) 2. at first I was surprised by the wire being silver instead of coper but after looking at the wire labels on the wire (see pic 2) I noticed it was tinned wire. while I have done a fair amount of house wiring I was not familiar with tinned wire so I did a little research and found out it is tin coated coper wire that makes it more corrosion resistant in a marine setting where it might be exposed to moisture or salt. makes sense and now i know. all this to say this is a good quality marine grade wire which is worth the price which is very reasonable for wire these days

This 10 ga marine wire is exactly what I needed to run power from my lithium battery to my main fuse block in my boat for my electronics. The wire is flexible and easy to work with and carries plenty of power to meet the demands of today’s fishing electronics. The sheathing used on the duplex wire is strong and durable, and protects the wire well when pulling through wiring channels in the boat.

I got this wire to run the electronics on my fishing boat from a dedicated battery. I chose the 10 gauge wire which has a firm, yet flexible outer sheath measuring .440” wide X .250” thick. The slick jacket allowed the wire to be pulled easily inside the rigging tubes to each graph location where the wire stripped easily to the copper clad wires. I used crimp style, heat shrink marine butt connectors for a clean, weatherproof connection. Once installed my electronics no longer have any interference from livewell pumps, etc. Overall a great weatherproof wire with tough, yet flexible jacket not easily found locally.

**Background:** got a 23-foot twin-engine outboard that I do all the work on, and I'm often replacing the wiring as the boat is getting older and it's important to keep the electrical work in tiptop shape. I ordered the 30 foot 10 AWG wire. **Build Quality:** I don't have the proper equipment to properly confirm the quality of this wire via instrumentation, but I've been around marine-grade wiring long enough to know the clues and this wiring appears to meet the standards of marine-grade based on my experience of owning the boat for the last 20 years.
