looking for a sexier way to pass a cable through the console than the usual index marine cable glands!

Basically its for the wiring on gps and needs to be able to pass a 10mm plug then seal around cable as per normal

There are alternatives, but the problem will be finding one that lets you put the plug through as well as seal onto the cable, unless you want to break the cable (but then you end up with an unwanted joint!). With the split foam or 'M'-type Index ones you can do it easily.

But no, they aren't that sexy! Some plain white. black or stainless types would be a nice alternative to the grey!
