Plenty of water tight hull pass through stuff for electrical cables but I don't see much for paracord or metal cables. I know certain kayaks have tension cable pass through stuff. Any ideas?

At Home Depot. Incredibly strong, thin, and slick line. Much cheaper than the Hobie brand. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/10/full-30144-114864-54b2a7be_a968_4803_9039_140658b33bd9.jpeg)

I'm guessing because those types of cords/cables really aren't possible to waterproof. Paracord will hold/wick moisture and metal cables are typically stranded/twisted so it would be hard to create a watertight seal. What is your application?

Nothing specific as of yet. I waited a season to heavily modify my kayak and now I'm making plans. When I was shopping for a kayak I remember seeing Hobie or Old Town kayaks with internal rigging of things like rudders etc... I might like to do something like that but can't remember what products those kayaks used.

To keep a stainless cable from "sawing " a slot where it enters my kayak(rudder pedal cable pass-throughs, etc,), I use a stainless or aluminum pop rivet that the cable can pass thru. I knock the nail out of the pop rivet and glue it to the kayak with JB Weld or other epoxy. For 1/8" cable, a 3/16 pop rivet will work. For 1/16 cable, a 1/8" pop rivet will usually do. I have never had any problems with that system. Good luck! IslandJim
