Al,
I would never use 10Ga to run my TM that pulls 60A, which according to that table, is allowable. There is no mention of properly sizing the conductor to the load in this link, which could cause an issue.

NEC may not apply to boats, but in my education and experience, the Ampacity Tables that I reference in NEC are a safe guide to sizing conductors. I also have always recommended Marine grade wire, that has tinned conductors as you mention.
