I just bought new steering cables for my boat and I wanted to replace the transom seals for them as well. They leak like crazy and almost shorted a battery once because they leak soo much. The problem is.... I cant find them anywhere. They are the old school rectangular ones with the little rubber ball like things in the center that the cables run through. Anybody have any ideas where I can get them or what I can do to seal the new cables with the old ones?

Bueller...... Bueller.....

I was thinking since I cant find new seals like that that I would try to wrap the cable with 1/16" thick rubber and try to seal it by just making it a tighter fit. Any thoughts there?
