About Ancor

Ancor has built marine electrical systems for over 40 years. From their start as a Wisconsin-based wire manufacturer, they earned a reputation as the first major supplier of UL-listed tinned copper Marine Grade wire built specifically for the harsh saltwater environment. Today Ancor is part of the Brunswick Corporation marine portfolio and serves customers worldwide through distribution in more than 45 countries.

What makes Ancor different is the system approach. Their catalog runs more than 1,500 products that are engineered to work together: tinned copper wire and battery cable, heat-shrink terminals and connectors, loom and wire management, hand tools and crimpers, NMEA 2000 network cables, and circuit protection. Every product is built to ABYC, NMMA, USCG, and UL standards so you can wire a boat once and trust it to hold up to salt, vibration, and cold.

At Lotz Outdoors we stock Ancor because it is what serious boat owners, riggers, and electricians actually use. If you are wiring a project from a single battery upgrade to a full helm rebuild, Ancor parts will fit together cleanly and last.

Are Ancor wires really better than automotive wire?

Yes. Ancor Marine Grade wire uses individually tinned copper strands that resist corrosion from salt and moisture, with Type 3 ultra-flexible stranding that handles vibration and flexing far better than automotive wire. The premium vinyl insulation stays flexible at temperatures down to minus 40 and resists salt water, battery acid, oil, gasoline, and UV radiation.
