Hi Andrew,

Blue Seas makes an all weather cable cam thru deck fitting which completely 
seals the electrical cord where it runs throgh the deck.  I used four of 
these to run all my new mast wiring down thru the deck.  Then connected the 
wiring below decks with a standard bus from which the various interior 
wiring harnesss run back to the main panel.  This works great and does not 
leak.

the trick is to drill the proper sized  hole into the rubber gasket sealer ( 
see picture on in the enclosed web site)  These things work 1000% better 
than the old two prong metal deck plugs.

This fisheries supply place is a local marine supplier in puget sound.  I 
image the blue seas part could be found at other local suppliers.

the blue sea part number is 	B/S#1001, or 1003, or 1003, depending on 
diameter.  I think I used the 1001 or 02.

BTW, square insulatged two strand boat wire can be wrapped with electrical 
tape to assume a more rounded shape, or the round hole in the rubber gasket 
can be squared up with a box knife....If cut a little undersize the rubber 
fits tightly around the wire.
