John,
In your post you said you were looking for a through deck connection.
I have not seen those over here but have looked. I did find a substitute
that was pretty cheap. I used a piece of PVC sink trap from a plumbing
department, and simply cut the hole in the deck where I wanted it
and then epoxied it in place. It was on a prior boat and I cannot
remember
but might have used 5200 by 3M to seal it at the deck after cutting a
tight
hole of the same diameter of the pipe. I was pleased with it during my
ownership of the boat, but you may want to stuff some bronze wool or
other item in it after the wires are fixed in it, so a small rodent or
insects do not go through and nest below decks.

might use a different idea this time. This is a piece of hardware that I
have only seen in Denmark and have looked for over here. It is a
piece of SS
tubing bent into a upside down U with one side shorter than the
other, on
the long side there is a deck mounting plate. It allows wires to be fed
through the hull and the U shape ensures that you get no water
through the
tube. It is a bout 8 inches tall, actually comes in 2 sizes. Most
boats in
Denmark use these rather than through deck fittings in the back of
the boats
where you may have to fed through 6 or 7 differently sized cables. I
might
have to have one made as I have 6 wires antenna cable etc back there
already.
