Hi Mike!
The 14 Gauge Primary Wire - Brown - per Foot # DW02413-1 can definitely be used on a boat trailer. However, I would definitely use something like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 16-14 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Blue - Qty 10 # DW05744-10 to make the connections. Heat Shrink connectors will help keep the water out, so no shorts. Those are bad.
What kind of boat do you have?
