[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 444377, member: 1055"] It's the vibration that breaks the wire. Counter-intuitive as it may be, the more secure the wiring, the more likely it will break due to vibrations. Your boat flexes, the wiring needs to flex with it. Your boat also vibrates, while you may not feel it, its happening. This is also why stranded wire is recommended and not solid copper. Your home has solid copper, your car and boat both have stranded. The more you bind the wire, the more likely you are to have a break. [/QUOTE]
