Connections of wire to wire should be soldered, then sealed with plastidip tool dip.

Wire to connector (ring, spade, male-female butt) shoal be non insulated crimp then solder then platidip. Another is liquid tape....same stuff. The important part is lack of exposure to air and moisture.

Copper stranded is a recipe for disaster.

Everything I just wrote is related to dc. Dc travels on the outside of the strand......so more strands, lower resistance (impedance higher)

1 20a gfi will feed an additional 9 on the load side. Ac uses the entire line, so solid is a much better decision. Always ground up....or opposite of what u see in your house. This is for safety. Only.

According to an active thread in the Tech section, your outlets should be ground side up.

Yeah I read that but he is also recommending solid wire and also soldering the wires as well which from what I have read is a big no no,from what I have been told solid wires and soldering wires on boat could crack,,,,thanks on the outlet tip I will look into to ,,I did it according to the instructions in the box

Not saying how you did it was wrong. I just wanted to point out a thread on the same topic showing the outlets upside down. First I had heard of that. I will be interested to see how Formula wires their outlets up when I am down in LOTO here in a few weeks.
