Covers electrical cables for boats, which are intended for use in marine pleasure craft. These cables consist of a single insulated conductor without a jacket or of two or more insulated conductors with or without an overall nonmetallic jacket. Each boat cable is rated as follows: 50 or 600 V; 60?C (140?F) or 75?C (167?F) wet; and 60?C (140?F), 75?C (167?F), 90?C (194?F), or 105?C (221?F) dry. Boat cable dry-rated 125?C (257?F) or 200?C (392?F) may be investigated. A boat cable so marked has insulation (and jacket if a jacket is used) that are for use where exposed to oil at 60?C (140?F) and lower temperatures. Boat cables employ stranded copper conductors that are Nos. 18 - 4/0 AWG for multiple conductors and Nos. 16 - 4/0 AWG for single conductors.
