Boat Lights Navigation
Can I join two cables together caliber size difference without causing problems?
My son has a new fishing Boat and he asked me to call the new navigation , Deck lights and radio he bought. The deck lights and radio did not come with power cord itself. But the navigation lights, no. The power cord I have is a little thicker than the wire coming out of the two navigation lights. My question is: would it be correct to use my cable a little thicker to complete the connections? Thanks from Noelene.
It should be ok. A heavier gauge wire is better than a very thin gauge. The heavier gauge can carry a heavier load (obviously), and should not cause problems. I had to rig up a cable hot for my truck battery for a temporary use. It caused no problem that I have not gotten around to re-rig yet. Works great. Going with a heavier caliber is always better to go with very clear a gauge.
