I've been running some wires in my aluminum boat this spring. I've cut some holes in various places (not through hull!) big enough to run locator plugs through (1-1.5 inches). I took the Dremel out and smoothed the sharp edges around the inside of the holes, but I would like to get some good weather-proof rubber grommets to protect the wires and keep the compartments they run through safe from rain.
A couple years ago, my friend and I found some great cone-shaped grommets at a local marine store, but that dealership has since closed. I found some regular hoop grommets at the auto parts store and BoatUS, but they won't keep rain out. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
