Rigging supplies
Hello all,
Can someone suggest a company in Calgary that supplies boat rigging parts? I'm looking for some 10 gauge tinned wire, connectors, loop terminals, bus bars, etc. Thanks! |
I know you asked for Calgary, but all what you are looking for is at Cabelas.com
http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/brows..._SEQ_104205780 But might take up to 2 weeks to get it. |
Thanks. Yes I was hoping for something local.
Regarding bus bars...is a 8/32 screw terminal sufficient for downriggers? I was inclined to use 1/4" stud bus bars but it might be overkill. Thanks. |
delcity.net is another state side company that handles everything you would need. I have ordered from them before.

They're not boat rigging specific, but I've had really good luck with these guys. Active Electronics.
http://www.active123.com/ They're in the northeast off 32nd Ave. Chances are very good they'll have what you're looking for, and if not, they can get it real quick. The other bonus is the staff is very experienced, and they've been great with answering all my questions and making sure I had what I needed to do the job properly. |

Thanks for all the great advice so far.
Yes I am indeed powering up a couple down riggers and a few other things on my secondary battery. This the reason for the bus bar so I can reduce the amount of direct connections to the battery. Here's what I need to power: Down riggers x 2 Transom live well pump Wash down pump Kicker motor I want to leave the primary battery isolated for the main motor and helm power. Lead lengths to the down riggers will be less than 8 feet so 10 ga wire is appropriate and I plan to use a Scotty in line fuse to match the down rigger. I recently saw a small adapter that converts the battery post into a second threaded stud. I might just do this to keep it simple. Sent from my SM-N920W8 using Tapatalk |

Tracker also has marine grade, tinned copper wire, which you should absolutely use. If you pretty please Gary, he might sell you enough to do your boat. |
I am not an expert in the rigging sphere but we use to have a project very similar to this. Bear in the case of overhead rigging, the primary concern is always safety. Secondary is liability.
