Ground Wire ??

[dirkdiggler]

what gauge are our ground wires on Superjets??

Will an automotive ground wire work?? (plan on putting additional heat shrink around the terminal connections!!)

 

[Bedpost]

I'm pretty sure wire is wire, just get whatever was on there

I just pulled the stock ground wire off of my FX-1. I also went to autozone the other day and bought some auto ground wire.

After looking at them both, it seems the stock is made of a silver internal wire while the cheap autozone wire is copper in color!

What is the stock wire made from?? stainless steal, steal, silver coated copper....??

It's tinned copper. This is a great place to get it. Nice people and quality wire. http://shop.genuinedealz.com/Marine Grade Wire/ They have all the terminals you'll need also. You can get it at West Marine, but it will be much more expensive.

Its pure silver,its probably worth more than your superjet,too bad you threw it in the trash.

I you just buy the wire be sure and get the tinned copper like crammit said. It will resist corrosion and last a whole lot longer than bare copper in a marine app. If you have to attach your own terminal ends then also get tinned terminals and solder them on the wire. This set up will last as long or longer than the OEM unit if you do it right. The tinned terminals can be found at West Marine or Boaters World, more expensive than bare copper but well worth it IMO.

dont use automotive ground wire its only for four stroke motors

 

[WFO Speedracer]

Yes the two stroke will skip and try to act like a four stroke if you use that automotive wire.

 

[chrisdoc0608]

:haha:

 

[WFO Speedracer]

Don't laugh that ski is already confused with thw automotive plug wires on it.

 

[chrisdoc0608]

i feel bad for that superjet, 4 stroke ground wire and doesnt it have spliced plug wires?

Uep I say put a volkswagon engine in it and be done.
