Does anyone recommend the more expensive "tinned" wire.
Saltwater .... Yes! Below summs it up ;

web page

"The wire must be copper, but even copper corrodes in the marine environment, and corrosion is the primary cause of electrical failures on a boat. Plating each strand of the wire with a thin coat of tin-called tinning--dramatically improves corrosion resistance. The additional cost of tinned wire is nominal, the benefits substantial. Under normal circumstances use only tinned wire."
Absolutely! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
