Can welding cable be used on boats?
A. Welding cable is often used for battery cables on boats. However, the welding cables insulation must be oil and water-resistant. Cable that is not oil and water resistant may become impregnated with the water or oil and reduce the insulations effectiveness. ABYC E-9.15.2 covers the requirements for the construction of cables and conductors.
