Andy135 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Interested in this but need to measure the cross-sectional area of the stuff that's already on the boat before I pull the trigger. If someone else makes you an offer first then no worries, but will let you know once I know what size I need. Suspect it may be too big but will confirm.

suzook12 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Is that 2 core? IE red and the black together or 2 x single lengths? 5 hours ago, Andy135 said: Interested in this but need to measure the cross-sectional area of the stuff that's already on the boat before I pull the trigger.

You can't really have too big Andy, too small on the other hand is a different matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller the diameter the better the job I can do with the tools I already have available. Or, I might even break out the soldering iron instead.
