Wire seals?
Where can I find one that mounts flush or almost flush?
The only ones I have found are all an inch tall or so. Thanks |

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 |

That ones perfect....but your post says it wont work with the Hbirds for some reason. I have an Hbird 597, I need the seal for the trans and power wiring. Where can I find those? Thanks Andy! Edit: Ha...nevermind, I found your link to port supply in that thread Re Edit: The link in that thread is empty |

Here is a link from West Marine for the part Andy mentioned. If you search "Wire Cap", you will find it.

You can put the bottom plastic part of the cable clam inside your yak if you have access. That will reduce the height maybe 3/8 inch or so.
