It's such a pain that they left Canada.

He thinks to himself..."Hmm, wonder what the duty and freight would be on a 100' spool".

As an FYI - in case you miss this sale, genuinedealz.com everyday price for marine wire is within a couple dollars of this 50% West Marine sale price. It is a different brand but is good quality tinned, stranded, marine grade. They also have good prices on other wiring stuff and quick turnaround on orders.

Thanks for the link Jon, they're good prices.  I don't see a brand for the heat shrink butt connectors.  Any experience with them to share?

I've purchased adhesive lined heat shrink ring connectors, and butt connectors for various gauge wire. They shrink evenly and the adhesive flows well. I'm confident they will last a long time. Remember Ken K. on this forum also sells good stuff at good prices. Another website a pro I talked to a while ago uses is delcity.net (I think). I haven't bought anything from them but they also have very good prices.
