Hi - my dealership is in the process of winterizing our boat and noted that it appears that a muskrat or other animal has chewed the cables for our SurfGate actuators (on each side). They still work, but the dealership recommends replacing both actuators (to the tune of $4500) and they said that they can't simply replace the cables. However, I do wonder if I could seal the cables with some marine-grade liquid electrical tape and then protect the wires with metal shielding (there are several products out there for this). Any advice? $4500 to replace seems like a very steep cost for what amounts to some exposed (but not torn) wires.
See pictures and thanks so much in advance for your help!
