Where can I purchase the rubber shield( similar to plastic shields) that holds the ancor wiring clips at rear of 1987 17 Montauk. these are the clips that hold wiring from tunnel to small electrical box next to light.

There are many different styles and different diameters:Here is one example:

I would use theses very sparingly since you want to avoid drilling holes in the fiberglass.

The adhesive style also work well. No drilling

This ancor clamp holds the wire running from the sump along floor at transom to the terminal block for the stern light on the port side. the screw that holds the clamp screwed into the black rubber looking shield, the rubber shield has a small type metal (nut) insert with threads to allow screw to tighten up.

I think they are called "saddle type tie mounts". My 1998 used black ones that had a stainless steel screw to hold the mount to the boat and then a regular cable tie to hold the wires. I had the holes filled in and now just run the anchor light wire in the bundle with the rest of the rigging wires.

I have a 1979 22' Revenge. My wiring hold down mounts have a "screw", "piece of hardware", whatever you call 'em, that are lag threaded on the side that enters the boat, and a fine thread on the other half, that has a brass nut that holds the clip in place. Actually a nice set up if you need a permanent wire hold down that you can service/remove the mount without having to remove the piece that attaches to the boat. Seal the lag portion in place and do not worry about it. As far as the clips/mounts that hold the wire, go with black. They hold up better in the sun.

The piece of hardware is called "lag screw/hanger bolt". They come in various sizes as well as different grades of stainless (I recommend 316). A quick google search and you get the size you want. I am sure the supplier that has the hanger bolt should have a nut that fits the thread.
