I recently made a largish hole in the side of my console to put the cables etc through from a new throttle box. I now need a rubber gromit(?) that will go over the top to allow the wires to go through in order to seal the hole.
I'm sure somebody knows of a website where these are for sale!

I don't know about a marine one but I'll tell you what works well, a gaiter for a steering rack. You can buy universal ones which have a series of collars on them at both ends. You just cut them off at the size you require. You will need to make a wee flange, at the consol, for it to clip over.
Wot you need is a witches hat. You can get them in all chandlers and consists of a plastic collar and a rubber grommet (shaped like a witches hat). You can cut the grommet hole to whatever size your cables are.
Look on right of picture. You may need the next size down but thats the thing.
Go to somewhere like Index Marine or Aquafax, they both sell them, Not sure if they have a website but i guess they will have.
But im just Rigging a Ribcraft 5.85 as our Barrus Demo boat, i have ordered some from Ribcraft and they were very good quality and they dont even need screwing to the console, all you need is a hole!.
