correct me if im wrong.....

for a berkeley, this is the order the items go on....
split washer....bend washer open to fit around cable then bend it back into flat/closed position
rubber bushing/seal...which is also split to go around cable...open it and wrap it around cable
split washer...same as the first one.
you should now have the rubber bushing between two washers.
slide this down cable into transom adapter.  theres a small bolt, not split, that slides down cable behind rubber bushing and screws into transom adapter and squishes it.
as bolt tightens....it presses against washers and transom adapter which make rubber swell out creating a seal against transom adapter and cable.

if its not for a berk.....disregard.

I ran a large open NPT then a another into that with a barb fitting to slide on 5/8 hose with clamp so cable doesn't slide around an keeps cable in perfect shape. Had to use a dremel on the barb fitting cutting it in half as cable end would not fit through barb hole. Fitting still fit perfect an a dab of silicone in and around cable and first NPT fitting... no leaks.

Yeah it's a Berk but I have the JF pump and is totally different. I have two plastic washers with an oring in the middle. But the washers won't slide over the metal part of the cable. My cable comes out of the transom with a 3 bolt boot housing

Talked to a guy at Berkeley and he says the plastic sleeves just need to be slit with a razor blade to go over the cable. Now i know  ::)
