Motor is currently serviced by 12ga romex which I do not believe is enuf for the long run out the dock.
I have a new circuit, 50amp breaker, 8ga stranded copper, to start from the house. We are looking at 700ft from the panel to a 1 hp motor which draws 13.4amps @ 115v. I plan to run wiring in PVC. Questions: do I have to use #8 wires or could I use #10 with a #12 ground? Does stranded vs solid copper make any difference?
