Default Can I use Solid wire for rewiring sailboat if not WHY?

I would think solid wire would be inadvisable for the same reason you don't
find it on automobiles. The vehicle moves and shakes, and in the case of
many boats it flexes. This would cause the wire no mater how well secured
to move and flex. It will inevitable succomb to metal fatigue over time.
In some cases it might take years, but it will fail. In some cases it could
fail fairly quickly.
