Default I need to rewire a snowmobile trailer, what wire to use?

I need to rewire a snowmobile trailer and need new wire and I'd like to use stuff wire that would be good to use for the boat trailer as the sled trailer gets used with all sort of salt/chemical spray in the winter so it needs to stand up to that. What should I go with and where to buy online?

I rewired one of my trailers last year. I wanted more protection for the wires than simple, flat, four conductor trailer harnesses provides. So searched on DelCity's site and found this four conductor trailer cable. It's round instead of flat, with each conductor insulated and then a heavy vinyl sheath over it all. Here's the stuff:

You can buy a rewire kit from Eastern Marine or Champion Trailer. Everything is color coded, this will make the job easier.

I would use 16 gauge tinned wire. You can buy it in two or three conductor.

For my last boat trailer project, I bought wire, crimps, split loom and heat shrink from www.bestboatwire.com. The quality was excellent and prices were decent. They also provide good customer service as I learned when they double shipped some stuff.
