A Sea-Dog battery cable without its original package can be hard to distinguish by appearance, especially where 4 AWG and 2 AWG black, red or yellow lengths are stored together. The 8004 series identifies 4 AWG and the 8002 series identifies 2 AWG. Match the complete number to the insulation colour and spool length before selecting a replacement.

Identify Sea-Dog cable by MPN, colour and length

The chart helps identify the original Sea-Dog spool. The same cable colour can exist in several gauges and lengths.

Sea-Dog MPN Wire gauge Jacket colour Spool length End style
8004010 4 AWG Black 25 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8004011 4 AWG Black 50 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8004012 4 AWG Black 100 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8004017 4 AWG Black 500 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8004020 4 AWG Red 25 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8004021 4 AWG Red 50 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8004022 4 AWG Red 100 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8004032 4 AWG Yellow 100 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8002010 2 AWG Black 25 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8002011 2 AWG Black 50 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8002012 2 AWG Black 100 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8002020 2 AWG Red 25 ft Unterminated bulk cable
8002022 2 AWG Red 100 ft Unterminated bulk cable
Gauge selection matters. 4 AWG and 2 AWG are not interchangeable solely because both use tinned copper. In American Wire Gauge, a lower gauge number indicates a larger conductor. The 4 AWG selections shown here include a 500-foot black spool, while the available 2 AWG products include shorter black and red lengths.

Common marine cable construction

Sea-Dog specifies annealed, finely stranded tinned copper for corrosion resistance and flexibility in marine installations. Its battery cable is oil-resistant, UL-listed boat cable, made in the USA, with a published 600V insulation rating and temperature ratings of 105°C dry / 75°C wet. This is bulk cable without fitted battery lugs, clamps or auxiliary wires.

The Sea-Dog battery cable manufacturer's chart identifies the gauges, colour combinations, spool lengths and standard packs.

What to verify on an original cable

  1. Read the original Sea-Dog number on the packaging or reel, where available, rather than estimating wire gauge from how heavy the cable appears.
  2. Check the exact gauge, length and insulation colour in the comparison table. A matching colour does not prove the cable is the correct size.
  3. Confirm the listing is a bulk, unassembled cable spool, not a prefabricated cable with terminals already attached.
  4. Inspect the installation's lug and stud sizes, and obtain the correct approved termination components for the selected gauge.
  5. Determine cable current and voltage-drop requirements from the installed equipment before reusing or modifying wiring.

For a different type of marine battery lead, compare Ancor cable assemblies by exact MPN and lug size. For making a correctly sized termination, see Ancor ring terminals by gauge and stud hole. Sea-Dog's battery-terminal cover identification chart covers protection around compatible finished connections.
