Could be, but my boat is about 1 mile from West Marine and a couple hundred or more from Defender, so Port Supply is still a big help when I need something mid-project. This made me curious, so I took a look at something I just bought – 4 gauge wire. Defender - $2.32/foot Port Supply - $2.60/foot West normal price - $3.19/foot Genuindealz (my favorite eBay marine wire store) - $1.92 a foot (tinned but not fine strand like Ancor, they do carry a lot of Ancor as well) Excelene welding cable 4 gauge (all over Ebay, very flexible, NOT tinned so watch how you make the ends) $1.29/foot
BTW – the two absolute *worst* deals at West are batteries and solar panels. East-Penn Deka makes their batteries and they are cheaper literally anywhere else. Sams Club AGM group 31s are HALF the West price and they are the exact same thing. West has the most expensive and crappiest solar panels I have ever seen anywhere too. They literally could buy them off Amazon, double the price, and still be better.

That won't get you a lot. I have had a Port Supply (now West Marine Pro) account for years. It is volume based. As a low volume buyer, my discount is negligible. I can buy stuff online cheaper than West Marine Pro. It's OK for the gotta have it now stuff. Dennis C.

I started a one hour project and ended up rewiring my whole boat! Speaking of wiring, Blue Seas stuff is great and frequently on Fleabay for a huge discount. Do also go to West Marine and explain you got “hired” to restore a boat and get yourself as Port Supply account. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
