What size wire(s) are you looking to go through? If they are small (16 gauge) go to either West Marine or Harbor Freight as they have wire grommets if that is what you are looking for. Otherwise check OEX or even eBay.

This is for the power and transducer wiring for my fish finder. I drilled a 1" hole and installed a rubber grommet but I really want to seal out any and all moisture.

Good call... I think these would work perfect for one wire or cable but the problem is; when you have a couple or a few grouped together I'm not sure it would seal all that well.
These look pretty sweet for $4 though

If you already have a 1 inch hole then use a Cable Clam to seal it up tight.

Yeah, I think I'll have to make a clamp work...just trying to avoid the height issue.

If I goop it the cables become fixed and I'd like to avoid that if possible. I have them running into an X-wing on my Stealth. If the cabling becomes fixed it will be very difficult to remove the X-wing if need be.
