I came across this site in my search for marine wire and cable products: http://bestboatwire.com/
I've placed 2 orders with them and since they drop ship from Ft. Lauderdale stuff gets here in 1 day.
The quality of the parts are top notch and the prices are as much as 1/2 what the same Ancor parts cost at the local supply houses. They also stock the heat shrink / epoxy connectors that are all but impossible to find locally.
Here's what they say about themselves
Let us tell you a bit more about Bestboatwire. We were boaters just like most of our customers. During 3 years we lived in South Florida with 4 kids and a dog on a catamaran that needed rewiring. That is where we have found a manufacturer of high quality marine wire. We started to sell our overstock on eBay. The response was so great that, to make a long story short, we became distributor and started our business www.bestboatwire.com (http://www.bestboatwire.com). When our regular job brought us to Canada, we simply continued our business over the internet. (The wire is manufactured in USA and ships directly from the manufacturer). Our main objective is to sell what boaters need at a price they like, so it’s a win-win situation...you are happy and the business is rolling! To keep prices low, we have a small overhead, we accept credit card payment through Paypal only. We take only a small profit. Our publicity is mainly by word of mouth from our satisfied customers on chat groups, marinas … and now you! I always like supporting the little guy, West Marine gets enough of my money....
Just thought I would pass it along, I have no affiliation aside from being a satisfied customer.
(p.s., I'm not sure of the site etiquette on these types of posts so if the moderators need to remove it then I have no heartburn with that)
