Can anyone suggest what to use, to bundle electrical harness, cables etc between the motor and transum?

the black (or other color) wire loom stuff and black tape.

Personally i prefer thick heatshrink.

both are good.

Mercury makes very nice rigging tubes (black flex material). They also have ends for going into the transom and for going into the motor lower pan.

Also TH Marine. See here:

I would go with what wilde1j has recomended. It is an easy install, it has a clean and professional appearance to it and the tube is large enough for everything.

check grainger for wire loom, split loom, etc. they will have wide variety of colors and sizes. a small zip tie makes a good way to secure a wire loom to the hull. For tape, use self-fusing silicon. It won't melt open like electrical tape. For wire splices nothing beats a good barrel crimp & solder with a bit of heat shrink tubing. If in a wet location you can get tubing that has an thin inner coating of hot-melt glue.
