Hello,
I just discovered today that the plastic fitting through which the pump wires pass is broken off, exposing the wires, which are insulated, but perhaps more importantly, the internals of the motor, to moisture. I've attached a picture for clarity.
It seems like a significant effort to replace the plastic fitting, and I'm wondering if that is required. I thought of using some marine sealant to seal up the hole and prevent moisture from entering the pump internals and then maybe taping the wires or something like that to protect them. But I thought it best to seek advice from experts before I do anything.
Thanks for any help!
