One of the greatest challenges in setting up a marine electrical system that relies on selecting marine battery cables that have enough flexibility to work in the tight spaces often needed on the water. Because of the nature of the marine craft (and dock electrical systems as well), having a flexible cable that also fulfills the needs of the electrical system while being durable and safe is crucial. If flexibility is what you are looking for, there are two features of wiring that can be focused on to fit your needs. The “stranding” or “strand count” is the primary measure of a marine battery cable’s flexibility; the higher the strand count, the greater the flexibility. Thankfully, most marine cables are considerably more flexible than their land vehicle equivalents, but there are still variances between the cables. If you know you are going to be repairing or building a system in particularly cramped spaces even by marine standard
