Wow – cheapest yet! I always loved the Ancor wire because of the fine strands, but this is a great deal! I have been buying the yellow Ancor for ground wiring lately. I may get around to redoing it all one day to match the latest color codes. Joe Coquina C&C 35 MK I.

It’s not UL- or ABYC-approved for marine use, and the fact that it’s not tinned should be a huge red flag, especially for you saltwater boaters. 4AWG marine battery cable from Pacer Marine is $1.75/ft retail: http://www.pacergroup.net/4-gauge-battery-cable/ I’ve been using these guys for many years, and their wire products for marine use are equal or superior to just about anything else our there, and reasonably priced. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI On Aug 1, 2017, at 8:54 AM, Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: Could be, but my boat is about 1 mile from West Marine and a couple hundred or more from Defender, so Port Supply is still a big help when I need something mid-project. This made me curious, so I took a look at something I just bought – 4 gauge wire. Defender - $2.32/foot Port Supply - $2.60/foot West normal price - $3.19/foot Genuindealz (my favorite eBay marine wire store) - $1.92 a foot (tinned but not fine strand like Ancor, they do carry a lot of Ancor as well) Excelene welding cable 4 gauge (all over Ebay, very flexible, NOT tinned so watch how you make the ends) $1.29/foot BTW – the two absolute *worst* deals at West are batteries and solar panels. East-Penn Deka makes their batteries and they are cheaper literally anywhere else. Sams Club AGM group 31s are HALF the West price and they are the exact same thing. West has the most expensive and crappiest solar panels I have ever seen anywhere too. They literally could buy them off Amazon, double the price, and still be better. Joe Della Barba Coquina
