Wiring through the bulkhead

Anyone have recommendations for getting wires through the bulkhead - both Battery positions?

I’m sure you could certainly come up with a better solution but I’ve just put a sharp small screwdriver through the existing grommit and fed the wire through. The grommit is well shielded from water etc so I deemed this suitable, a bit of silicon could be used but the holes I made look suitable sealed just by the size of the wiring. I suspect that a lot have just done the same

There are existing grommets as above both sides, on mine the nearside wasn't used at all. I usually wrap with self amalgamating tape just to ensure total waterproofing and it also ensures that any pull strain from the inside is absorbed by the grommet rather than pulling the cable thru further.

I just use a scalpel blade to cut a cross in it, this method is a bit old skool but works.
