 Hi Rick, if you wanted a 2 core wire under .24 (6mm)that is rated for 9 Amps, it might be difficultor close to your maximum size. I did a Google & it's difficult to get specific information like cable diameter & amp rating. I think you'll need around 16 gauge. You will only have a short run & the cables will be in water when on. Most wires have a pvc jacket but there are tephlon coated wires ptfc. Being tephlon they would be more likely to extrude in through a blue globe cable gland (that's my thinking anyway). I am using ptfc in the hull because they have a better fire rating. Maybe head down to a marine chandlery with your calipers. I bought wire off a marine electronics contractor once when desparate. Let us know how you get on? Alan

 Thanks Alan, It doesn't have to be 2 conductors, Just needs to be less than .24 diameter and be able to safely carry the 9 amp load and preferably be rated for outdoor use. Thanks for the web site tip!

Rick,so that's close to 9 Amps for the combined 3 X 100W lights.The item in the screen shot below looks good, unless I am hearing you wrong & you are wanting two wires in the same jacket.Marine chandleries & automotive supplies should have that or similar. Or buy it on line.I had to convert from imperial to metric; which gave me a size range for your blue globeOf 2-6mm. The item below is 3.3mm diameter.Alan

Alan yes cable glandyes, Blue globe made to accept a  .08 to .24 OD wire jacketIt is two separate conductors stranded wire each separately jacketed for obvious reasonsI would like to run 3 LED front lights that are 34 volt DC and are rated at 100 watts eachThe mid lights and aft light will be on a separate cable going through a different gland. Does that make sense?Also do you or anyone out there have any suggestions on a good thread compound to mate the motors to the ss shaft?

Rick,
do you mean cable gland?
Are you using blue globe & what size?
So it is one positive & negative wire running through the same cable gland
& feeding all 6 LEDs!
If so what is the combined amp draw. 
I source a lot of my high powered wire through automotive suppliers, but it is 
normally separate positive & negative & not both in a single jacket.
