    No, your cable seals don't have to look like that. The ones that come with a Place Diveter are a poor seal. We always put one of our own in with a diverter when we sell one. Or we sell the seals seperately, $7.44 ea. Here's an example of how we do it.

    For sealing the bowl, use a caulking gun and put a steady bead around it. Then use a quarter or nickle to scrape off the excess. Leaves a nice finished look to it.

    You have everything but the billet MSD dist, That is all I will run. The silicone trick I have learned to keep the bead nice and smooth is Windex. I also recomend using the squeeze tubes not the gun type, You get a better bead then. Once you lay down the bead spray the bead and the surrounding area with a liberal amount of windex. Wipe silicone bead with your finger wiping excess from your finger regularly. The windex on the surrounding the bead will prevent the silicone from sticking there while wiping. You will end up with a clean silicons job. For the cable seals, You can get those from an electrical supply shop for around $2. If you print the pic you can show them what you are looking for but someone will come on and post what they are called exactly so you look like you know what you are talking about when you go to buy them. I never order them since I steal all the ones I need from my brothers tool box. Have fun. See you on the water.

    maybe a good way to advertise but the through hull fittings look good to me i bought one from a guy at bergerron and paid 25 bucks for it but it worked and i was happy with it. 7 dollars and change is cheep for a something that looks good and works.
