Jumpin'!!!! I *never* seem to get my mail in this echo!
It's apparent from the above that you asked me a question that I never got
at my end -- which makes me wonder what else I'm missing. 
Anyway, I concur with Sandy. Marine rated 110 volt wire *looks* the same from
the outside, but is a stranded wire instead of solid copper core. It's quite
flexible and is meant to withstand the bumpin' and grindin' that goes on in
boats.
BTW, how have you been?
Buy another boat yet?
Any more hostage takings? ;-)
