<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Charles, try using this formula to determine wire
gauge.<BR> <BR>CM = ( I multiplied by L
multiplied by 10.75 ) divided by 0.36,<BR> <BR>divide it by
0.72 instead for a 24 volt system<BR> <BR>I = current, so if each bulb (or
whatever) draws 1 amp and you have 3 bulbs then I = 3<BR>L = actual length of
wire run (in feet) from the battery AND back<BR>( NOT straight line distance
)<BR> <BR>The answer (CM) will be in circular mills, use the chart below to
convert that to wire gauge (AWG, not SAE). If your answer is between two values
go down to the next bigger wire (the smaller the gauge number the bigger the
wire). If your answer is 18 gauge, it is considered too fragile for boat use,
move up to 16 gauge. <BR> <BR>(I hope this chart shows up
OK through e-mail, I'm using Rich Text HTML, if not my
apologies)</FONT></DIV>

<BR>> Bob;<BR>> I plan to rewire this winter. What gauge of wire did you
use for the light?<BR>> i.e.. nav. steaming, cabin. I will use marine grade
tinned wire but I'm not<BR>> sure of the gauge.<BR>> <BR>> Charles
