Measure every cable jacket and the widest part of every connector. Then choose vertical or horizontal entry, the number of cables, whether an installed cable needs a split retrofit housing, and the required material and finish.

How to choose a waterproof cable seal

Measure every cable jacket and the widest part of every connector. Then choose vertical or horizontal entry, the number of cables, whether an installed cable needs a split retrofit housing, and the required material and finish.

What drill-tube size should I use?

Choose the closest drill-tube diameter within ±0.02 in (±0.508 mm) of your measured cable diameter. A tube may be smaller or larger by no more than this amount. If none of the supplied 6, 8, 10 or 12 mm tubes qualifies, use a matching-size tube. The hole layout still needs at least 1/8 in of rubber at the edge and between holes.

Can one cable seal hold multiple cables?

Each cable needs a separate hole with at least 1/8 in (3.175 mm) of rubber between holes and at the outer edge. Round vertical seals can nest holes; horizontal seals keep them in a row. The selector checks hole layouts and suggests drill-tube sizes. CGM90 uses its factory-marked drill centers.

What cable and connector sizes fit CGM17?

This guide uses a maximum cable diameter of 12.7 mm (0.50 in) and a maximum connector diameter of 17 mm (0.67 in) for CGM17. Check the connector shape, installation drawing and actual cable route before drilling.

When do I need a retrofit cable seal?

A split retrofit housing assembles around a cable that is already installed and cannot be re-run. Check the existing surface hole, coverage and screw locations. Standard vertical and horizontal cable seals have different installation requirements.

How should I use the hole layout drawing?

The top-down planning view shows each entered cable diameter, minimum edge rubber, suggested drill tubes and razor-cut lines from hole edges to the rubber edge. Enlarge or download the drawing, then verify it against the actual rubber plug and installation instructions. It is not a drilling template.

Marine Cable Seals & Waterproof Deck Cable Glands

Route cables neatly through boat decks, RV roofs and vehicle panels with Seaview cable seals. Choose a vertical, retrofit or 90-degree horizontal entry to match your cable path and connector size. Available models use impact-resistant plastic or marine-grade stainless steel.

Find the Right Cable Seal

Choose by cable diameter, connector clearance, number of cables and entry direction. For multiple cables, leave at least 1/8" (3.175 mm) of rubber between holes and at the plug edge. Drill-tube sizing tolerance is ±0.02" (0.508 mm) from measured cable diameter.
