First time posting and apologize for any repetition.
I have a 2014 Sundancer 280 and in the process of replacing my shifter or throttle cables. As I was pulling the old cable out, it got stuck in what I'm calling a "gob of silicone," I have no idea if there is a better way to explain this. The silicone is unreachable, therefore can't break it apart. So my question is - what is the purpose of the silicone and why is it covering most of the cables and wiring between the bilge and helm?
There is another route that I can use for the cables that I am going to take that bypasses the glob of silicone.
I'm just wondering what the purpose is and the importance of have so much silicone covering some wires and cables between the bilge and helm.
Thanks
