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

Note that the electrical outlets are different than the typical
household outlets as a result. An outlet that is designed for solid
wire won't work for stranded.


They are exactly the same. You just don't use the push in connector.
Use the screw terminals with crimp on ring terminals.


The marine grade electrical outlets that I have used all have a clamp system
for securing stranded wire. You insert the wire into the hole in the back,
just like the household units. But instead of it being a "one way" catch,
the screw on the side tightens down the clamp.
