I wish I had found this company before starting the commissioning of my boat. But, I think about Charlie and others just starting the process and want to share this.
WayTek Wire has just about everything you may need to wire your new baby. Connectors galore, marine grade cable, shrink tubing, harness components, fairways, fuses and holders, wiring tools and on and on.

They also have lots of trailer related electrical parts, lights, plugs,etc.

Thank you Roger.

I ordered the catalogue. Interesting items. You have to find the marine items, but they are there.

Thanks Roger, I AM about to embark on a sizable project and this will help a lot!

Roger, I ordered the catalog and reviewed it on the site. Wish you could download the entire catalog and not just a page at a time. I don't see any marine stuff there, looks all automotive, not that that wouldn't do the trick.

Charlie

Another good wiring supplies source which sells in smaller quantities is Genuinedealz.com They will also fabricate the exact length of cable, with specified terminals.

Charlie,
The marine stuff is there, but you have to down load the section and then click on the marine link. They have tinned wire, double crimp connectors (but I didn't see any combo heat shrink double crimp).

I agree it is difficult down loading a page at a time, vs being able to down load or scroll thru the catalogue. Plus I didn't see the prices on the pages--again makes it a bit more difficult to decide if to buy from them.

We have National Standard parts, in Pensacola and they have a fair number of the fittings needed for wiring.

Thanks Bob. I found that if you go to the "Products" link, you can select a category of stuff and see all of it at once with prices and a link to the particular catalog page it's on. A lot easier than searching through the catalog.

Thanks Charlie--I guess, the best way is to find the catalogue item, and then put in the number for the price. About 1/3 of West Marine for the larger breakers.

Bob, actually, what I said above. If you do it that way, the prices are all on the category pages. You don't have to do another step unless there are sub categories.
