HERE’S WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING:
"The DC Wire Sizer is the most complete and comprehensive marine DC wire-sizing tool available. Developed for both marine professionals (the Wire Sizer Pro) and the occasional tinkerer (the Wire Sizer Wizard), the app determines the proper wire size, along with the voltage drop and ampacity by using the ABYC E-11 or ISO 10133 formulas and tables.” -  OnboardOnline (2013)
"Stay organized by adding a wire description to the wire run and assign it to a project name (ie boat name, owner or work order). Mark the wire run as "Complete" or “Cancelled”, re-order wire runs within a project or move them between projects. Tired of adding wire runs in order to figure out what to purchase and how much? DC Wire Sizer sums the active wire runs for you by wire size (e.g. 8 AWG) and type (e.g. Safety Duplex, Battery Cable, and Primary Wire).” - marinabusiness (AU 2013)
"If you're doing a lot of wiring on your boat, the app allows you to save the calculations with project names and wire type.  The app then can sum the length of the wire runs by wire type and size which can be used as a shopping list for your projects.  No other app offers these unique features and that's what makes it a winner.”  - i-marineapps (2013)
"This is the best wire sizer program I have seen to date.  I can size and make a list at the same time also there is a better selection of amps and volts.” - Keith Herridge, Special Projects, Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding

DC Wire Sizer Reviews

Very helpful tool

LazR17 on

I love this app! It is an indispensable tool in a boater’s toolbox. It makes correctly figuring out the wiring in a boat so simple. It’s functionality is well thought out. The authors keep it updated to the latest standards and technology. Wiring a boat is a serious affair and if done incorrectly can spell danger for a boat and the life aboard. I’m glad the authors of this app have put so much work and thought into this wonderful tool. I especially love the help section of the app which is full of great information, too, as is their web site. This app is simple to use and the wizard functionality walks you through every step in wiring for even a true novice. Thank you for producing such a great tool and for all the knowledge I have acquired from it. Great job!!!

This app is easy to use and understand. The step by step instructions filled in any gaps for me. It's worth the money ten times over!

Awesome for pros and those of us with no experience!

Time to rewire the 40 year old, but good, sailboat. No other app or book out there is making this task so doable and easy! I can enter the data for my husband as he crawls around in small spotsbin crazy places. This wire sizer app will probably save our marriage--no more digging through Nigel, codes, calculating and arguing! Easy enough for me to use, and the "Captain" can walk into a shop and discuss what he needs and how much he needs with confidence with a "pro." Actually, he now thinks he knows more than the pros. I won't burst his bubble that it's the wire sizer that has made him feel so smart :-)

No Experience Necessary
