Robert-
 If this is just one wire, using the instrument itself as the return, the
only other thing that comes to mind would be silicon or hypalon insulated
wire. It sounds like this is an external power wire...something like the one
C&P have coming out of the battery handle on the regular sextants?
 There's also fiberglass-jacketed wire, designed to be used in heating
equipment. Not really "flexible" but that might work for you, sometimes
short runs can be found inexpensively as surplus, very durable against wear,
and it won't crack in the cold either.
 Fully tinned stranded wire will be the most important thing, in any case.

 If you need two-wire, sometimes you can get a nice telephone or instrument
conecting wire that uses hair-fine copper interwoven with fiber strands, so
it is very light and flexible. Telephone handset cords are often made that
way, but that's a very light guage wire, can't take a lot of power, and of
course a lot of cheap stuff floods the market now.


 How low is low, btw?
