16 AWG Light Blue - 100 foot

Pacer 16 AWG Primary Marine Wire is designed for marine electrical installations that require flexibility, corrosion resistance, and dependable performance. It uses Type III Class K fully annealed finely stranded tinned copper, helping the conductor resist corrosion while remaining flexible for tight routing inside boats, panels, and equipment compartments.

This light blue 16 AWG wire features a tough, flexible, color-coded PVC insulation for demanding marine environments. Pacer’s primary marine wire spec sheet lists this wire family for point-to-point wiring and internal wiring of panels and motors, with resistance to acid, alkali, oil, moisture, abrasion, gasoline, and flame.

Check Before Ordering

• Confirm that 16 AWG wire is correct for your circuit amperage, voltage, and wire run length.
• Confirm light blue is the correct color for your wiring plan.
• Confirm the 100 ft spool length is enough for the full project, including routing, bends, and service loops.
• Verify that the 0.125 in nominal outside diameter will fit through your wire loom, conduit, panel openings, and bulkhead penetrations.
• Use properly sized marine-rated terminals, connectors, heat shrink, and circuit protection.
• Follow applicable ABYC, UL, Coast Guard, and local electrical requirements.
