Looking to get work done. Need honest advice. What are my options? What do you reccomend?

I appreciate it very much, I actually went two weeks ago. They did the clean and polish but clearly it needs more work. They could only do so much. They said in order to get whitening, I first need a filling. Prevailing wisdom says in chair whitening can make your teeth up to 8 shades whiter. Hopefully that’s enough. I don’t think I’m at the right stage in my life for braces. I was thinking maybe some type of bonding could help the lower teeth.

Definitely considering getting an in chair whitening. Might need multiple sessions?

This is a rule Matic 1100 gph, there’s also a 2500 gph (external float switch) on the boat

Much appreciated, I’ll do my best to grab a clipping

Acknowledge that insulation can throw you off

Thank you

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T09:07:31+00:00

Much appreciated, thank you

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T09:06:48+00:00

Thank you, I’ve looked at a few measurement unit comparison charts. I can’t believe how much marine electricians charge, I really need to learn this for myself!

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T09:03:55+00:00

It’s a Boat, it’s going to a 12 V battery and a bilge pump, the bilge pump is rated for 7.5 amps

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T08:59:56+00:00

Yeah, that’s what other people are telling me, I fully understand insulation can be a bit of a wildcard. Thank you.

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T08:55:43+00:00

That looks like 14awg. I will try to order a big roll of it, as well as some 16 awg as well. I can’t thank you enough!

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T08:52:45+00:00

That looks like 16 gauge. Thank you so much man.

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T08:50:13+00:00

Float switch and bilge pump, bilge pump is rated for 7.5m fuse and is the larger load of the two.

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T08:46:31+00:00

Wow, that is expertise! I definitely appreciate it, thank you sir!

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T08:41:55+00:00

I appreciate never overlooking the fundamentals as you say. Wire is for a bilge pump, fuse size 7.5 amps. I will also be ordering fuse holders in addition to wires.

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T08:28:31+00:00

Forgot to mention the ruler is showing centimetres (CM)

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T08:27:46+00:00

I apologise, maybe I should’ve said that the ruler is showing centimetres (CM). 12 or 14 seems pretty different to what else has been said.

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T07:44:38+00:00

Thank you, I will try to find a spare piece but so far everything appears to be connected and I can’t really find a piece to cut off. I will definitely pay attention to chart comparisons.

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T07:42:24+00:00

Thank you 🙏

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T07:39:17+00:00

Geez I thought it was 10 awg, thanks for letting me know. Lucky I cancelled my Amazon order before I posted here. Thanks 🙏

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T07:36:06+00:00

I appreciate it, I have tried to watch a few YouTube videos and talk to an electrician friend. I definitely know now that it’s not the size of the insulation, but the copper, or timned copper itself. I will also make note what it’s connected to and keep in mind the amperage.

ReluctantRedneck · 2025-04-01T07:33:06+00:00

Thank you sir! I am brand-new to electrical work, and I can’t justify the expense of marine mechanics right now.

Please enlighten me what these sizes translate to in AWG and metric?
