Hi guys, spent most of yesterday putting in the OBC which I bought a couple of years ago. Couldn't manage to get the wires through the existing bulkhead grommet so at the moment the grommet isn't completely sealing the gap and the wires are running in that gap. What's the best way to route the wires through it? Cut a hole? If so with what? It was tricky to say the least.
Thanks in advance!

There should be a 'knockout' in the bulkhead grommet that you remove with a craft knife, for the grommet on the OBC wiring to fit into.
