[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 418013, member: 13702"] Personal preference at that point but I think you're getting too picky - boat manufacturers have the luxury of having spools and spools of all different jacketed wires in every color imaginable with & without stripes etc[strike]. I try to stick to the basic aftermarket DC color configuration I picked up on playing around with car stereos: Yellow - constant power, Red - switched power & Black - ground.[/strike]If I have a number of similar wires coming through the same location I just mark them with a piece of colored electrical tape to make a tag & a sharpie. Seems like there isn't nearly as much consistency with boating accessories, white/black & white/brown seem to be the most common that I've seen. [/QUOTE]
