Best connector/fitting to run speaker wire through deck?

Hi all,
I'm planning to install some box speakers on the stern rail or under the dodger on our Sabre 34. Not sure where yet, but I know I'll need some sort of connector or fitting to run the speaker wire through the deck. I've seen a few different fittings, but don't know what would be recommended as best practice. Some run the existing wire through some sort of compression fitting, others seem to be more of a plug type of thing. I'm open to suggestions.

I would like it to be a) waterproof (of course), b) least amount of "damage" to the deck. For what it's worth, I'd rather have two of these connectors/fittings on deck than two large holes for flush-mounted speakers.

Any recommendations for the fitting/connector?
Thanks!
