I just cut the plugs off my brand new Chugger pumps to extend the wire to my control box and it appears that the wiring is aluminum. Anyone else cut their plugs off lately?

Thanks, Jim
 
I would guess that you are seeing tinned stranded copper wire. Fairly common for power leads. The tinning provides corrosion/oxidation protection.
 
Used a lot on boats for that reason. Look at a cross section of the wire and you should see copper core.
