What is this part called and where can you buy it?

I'm wondering if you can buy replacments of this part? I know it allows the cables to slide freely through the side of the splashwell. Was it boat brand specific or are there universal ones?

Indeed, that's a "grommet" you can generally buy them at auto parts stores, although I can only recall seeing them in rubber, rather than plastic. Might be an issue with you are expecting stuff to slide back and forth with ease, but if your goal is to protect what is running through there, and protect the fiberglass, a rubber one should do just fine.

It's really called a "rigging flange".

T-H Marine is a popular manufacturer. Google their web site and take a look. I think iBoats sells at least some of them.

(I went through this when I needed to replace the ones on my old outboard transom. Took a long time to come up with the right name for it, so that I could actually find them for sale)

Thanks for the info. I found what I need now. I checked out those rigging flanges and they are a little different from what I needed. I seached for 'grommet' and found this -> Tiller rope grommet and it fits my 3" hole.http://www.bellrpg.net/donsmarine/MA/grouppart.asp?MAJ=032&PRI=153&SEC=584&GRP=3251
