Essential Tools for Wiring and Testing Your Marine Electronics

[@frankiedowns9272]

When you run a new wiring harness on a boat do you use 10 gage?

[@garrywoodruff960]

Hi, I usually run 8 AWG marine grade wire. This allows for future additions without having to an impact on voltage level. I have run 10 AWG in the past before the live systems or running more than 2 units on the boat. But that is limited to short runs less than 10 feet. This is the wire that I run: amzn.to/3OBxp2J And thanks for viewing the video!

Do you prefer the Klein over the Fluke?

[@garrywoodruff960]

I prefer Fluke but when I was looking for a replacement meter, Klein was my second choice only due to price. An equivalent Fluke was about 2-3 times higher in price. Klein is my first choice for pliers, strippers, and similar tools. Of course, I was replacing a meter that I bought at an Ace Hardware for about $10 years ago, it served me well but finally died and I bought that one to replace that Fluke that I won.

As an hvac technician I love my fieldpiece meters. Prefered over the Klein and fluke

I'll have to check them out. Fluke was commonplace in the test equipment that I used to design and build.
