When I used them for a similar purpose I cut a piece of plywood that fit in the bottom of the box and attached foam-core board on the four sides to create a box within a box. Unfortunately I never finished them (maybe I will this summer) so I have no photos for reference. For wires I would recommend a silicone based sealant . Your local boating supply shop should have something suitable. If the silicone proves to be too weak, you can try polyurethane instead, but then you sacrifice the convenience of soap and water clean-up. Blends of the two are also available.
