Hi a little advise needed!
I have just installed a 12 volt cable twin insulated rated at 16amp (the red and black are 1mm thich - each)
I have ran this cable from the fuse cabinet in the cabin through the rear cabin to the engine bay, in the engine bay i have used flexy piping and ran the cable through that.
And then up though the wet bar cabinet into the arch where i will be using a 16" tv this gives a 3amp drain. i have also fitted a 12 volt waterproof socket in the wet bar cabinet for a small 12 volt cool box. the lenght of the run of cable all together is no more than 17 foot.
Do you think the cable is rated at the correct amps, i have fused the tv end at 4 amps and the cooler box at 4 amps and back in the cabin fuse cabinet i have used a 10 amp fuse.
Advise please if this is correct or uncorrect.:huh:
