Confession,
the leak was from my thruster housing. I somehow got oil on the hose fitting
& it fooled me. However will look in to those fittings as I don't think what I have
is that robust.

I've seen this done with pressure-balanced oil-filled cable assemblies. It seems to be the most robust way to attach a soft vinyl tube to something, and also doesnt restrict the bore as much as JIC so you can run more wires.
