🔍 Key Concepts

• Stranded vs. solid copper conductors on vessels (think vibration and flexibility) • Minimum wire size (AWG) requirements and when smaller sizes may be allowed • Requirements for insulation and protection of shipboard wiring

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself which type of conductor (stranded or solid) is better suited to handle continuous vibration and movement aboard a vessel. • Consider whether there are ANY situations where wire smaller than 14 AWG is allowed on a boat (for example, low‑current control or signal circuits). • Think about whether bare, unenclosed, or uninsulated wiring would ever be acceptable on a metal vessel from a safety standpoint.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR electrical regulations whether stranded or solid copper is specified for general shipboard use. • Check if the rule about minimum 14 AWG applies to ALL wiring, or only to certain types of power/lighting circuits. • Confirm that shipboard wiring must be insulated and/or enclosed to prevent shorts, shock hazards, and damage.
