I may not have been clear regarding the original problem. In fact, I am replacing the current wires in the hole with new ones from the new, networked instruments. Thus if the cable clam works and fits where I need it, it should solve my problem.
Thanks again for the info about these.

However, unless I'm stunned, the original problem was how to seal up a hole in the deck with the wires already installed. Maybe I'm stunned.... Mmmm? Rich Knowles Indigo.

This looks like it both compresses and seals the rubber gasket around the cable and seals the device to the deck via the provided flat rubber seal/washer. Thus no water can get in via the cable/gasket path nor rubber seal/washer of the device to the deck. OTOH, never having seen the device "...in the flesh...", I could have it wrong. In any event, I am ordering one tomorrow and will soon find out!

They work well.

I understood the challenge to be how to seal the holes with the wires already run. Hence the goop suggestion. Rich Knowles Indigo.

You can add and change wires over time, and they're *totally* waterproof. Heck, two of them handle wires from my solar panels, which pass through the deck by a stanchion base.
