AC Wiring size

Off hand, Does anyone know the wiring size used on the AC side of the Catalina 36 ? 12 or 14 ?
Thanks,
Bill

Assuming your unit doesn't pull more than 15 amps, you could use 14 AWG if the length of the run is under 45 ft.

I use the Blue Sea circuit wizard app to calculate correct wire size.
