If you want to be fussy do it correctly with a big head cable fixing

Pretty much what I did, screw type cable tie saddles roughed up and bonded with Araldite

Cheers for all the offers guys, I think I've sorted it now though. Araldite apparently bonds them in without an issue

Having already built the loom , I'm not really up for dismantling the whole thing in order to glass stuff in.

If you're talking about the double-stick foam, an acetone wash helps those too. Wet the adhesive, and stick it on pretty quickly. Might have to hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the solvent to flash off. Helps quite a bit.

The RS ones stick with sikaflex ok. Other than that is was epoxy glue for me with an acetone wipe first. Goes off quicker as well.

O'fish'l glue on surf leash plugs work great if you can find them.

I used some actual box conduit on the last toy, glued it in place with araldite and ran the cable through this, a long section within the console and a couple of small piece around the battery unit. Works better than cable ties.

Hows about a variation on what I did to prevent drilling holes below the waterline on my transom when I fitted the sounder?

Small blocks of wood Sika-ed where you want the screw cable ties to go. Then you are only needing to manoever a small lump, so making it muuuuch easier to get into position.

I've sussed it now-Araldite seems to bond them in quite well once everything's cleaned up with Xylene and roughed up.
I've brought the Araldite onto the front of the pad as well so they're semi potted.

It may take GRP off now before they fall off
