Paul, these might work for you: 
http://bluesea.com/category/9/productline/overview/1  I use them on the 
console of my power boat.  They eliminate any connectors at the deck 
pass-through, passing the wire intact through the hull.  They come in a 
couple of different diameters, to accommodate end-connectors of different 
diameters.  Had a pair on the console for three years now and going strong.

Blue Sea is a respected manufacturer of electrical gear tailored for marine 
use.
