It might cost, but you can try using some of the flexable
conduit.
You would have to put at least one end on the conduit as it is
only about
1/2 to 3/4 of an inch inside diameter.

Doh! Found this ... $34 It might work... but I wonder if aluminum
is a match for my squirrels. It looks like I'd have to knife one
end of the cord to fish it thru.

Just get a roll of MC cable. It is like that FMC but it already has
a wet location wire in it. You can get a connector and a box for the
receptacle end but I am not sure how you would put a plug on it.
Maybe mount another box on the line end with a short pigtail to were
you plug it in. If you are doing all of this, why not just hard wire
it on the line end and make it part of the building wiring?
The squirrels in da hood around here can chew through aluminum flex and
MC cable. I would have to pull the cord through galvanized steel flex to
keep our squirrels at bay. I'm not sure because the squirrels in this
area steal copper pipe out of unoccupied homes. ^_^
