Bob - I'd look at the marine consignment shops. I've seen circular plastic cups with a relief cutout for the cables on some instruments that screw into the back.

The Raymarine stuff uses molded Seatalk connectors that seal pretty well. The only exposed connections are the blade connectors from the sensors. Perhaps you can get some flexible potting compound and mold your own connector for the sensor connections. That would preclude the need to cover the instruments and still provide removable connection.
