I am getting ready to install Sony's marine stereo unit. Naturally, the wiring harness is much too short. The gauge of the power and ground wires appears to be fairly small. I'm hoping the collective C-Brat brain is the quick/easy way for me to identify the gauge I should use to extend the wires.

Thanks,

Greg

It probably no bigger than 16 or 18 gauge . You cant go wrong by going up a size .

Thanks for the responses, guys.

Marc -- I hope the fishing has been good. Nancy and I still talk about how damn good your koppa (did I get that right) is.
