There are three factors when choosing the right wire gauge:
ABYC says that non-critical loads like a livewell, or courtesy lights should have no more than a 10% voltage drop, while critical loads like a bilge pump or navigation lights should have no more than a 3% voltage drop.
Remember, length of the run is a “round trip”… so from the battery, out to the load and back. Example calculations are below the table.
Example 1:
Your livewell pulls 6A. There is 10 feet from the battery to the switch panel, then 5 more feet from the switch panel to the console livewell.
Length of run is 10 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 30ft (from battery to load, and back again)
On a livewell a 10% voltage drop is acceptable, so we use the top table. We’ll round up the 6A, to 10A, and use 14AWG wire.
Example 2:
Your LED navigation lights pull 3A. There is 10ft from the battery to the switch panel, then 14ft of wire from the switch panel to the lights.
Length of run is 10 + 14 + 14 + 10 = 48ft (from the battery to load, and back again)
Navigation lights are critical, so only 3% voltage drop is allowed, so we use the bottom table. We’ll round the 3A up to 5A, and 48ft up to 50ft, and use 10 AWG wire.
