RE: Battery Wire

"The quality of work and installation is so very much more important ... than tinned conductors or a proprietary label that literally means nothing outside the marketing department and only carries weight with recreational boat surveyors who posess dubious qualifications at best." ... says much more about reality than a cartoon self portrait.

Like I wrote before, Don, if you prefer you can use gold and silver wire labeled as "officially approved special heavy duty salt proof marine boat wire" but if you make garbage connections and do a poor installation it won't perform as well, as safely, or last nearly as long as the cheapest wire installed correctly.

By the way, don't your pointy shoes catch on rocks and bushes?
