We have a 1996 Fisher Pontoon, and we want to move the battery from next to the motor on the outside of the fence to a large enclosed compartment inside the fence. Thinking it will be an easy task, but we are looking for a plastic or rubber cover to protect the cables from the metal fence after we drill through the fence. Is there such a thing as a cap or ring for this purpose? Any suggestions?

I would want my cables routed under the floor.

If you need something to protect the cables and you have a piece of 1/4"-3/8" fuel line laying around, you can slice a piece length wise and use it to form a grommet that will last a long time.

Like hicks said, old fuel line, heater hose, garden hose or radiator hose. Cut length you need and then cut length wise and then zip tie where it may rub. Also you can buy the correct size rubber or plastic grommet for the size hole you plan to drill and where. Whether it's the fence and it's thickness is very thin or you go through the floor and need a 3/4" thick one.
