sicce wiring
At the base of my Sicce 2500 I have notice that the" black wire covering" that covers the electrical wires has pulled away from the body of the pump.
Is this pump not safe to use now?  or

If you can now see the 2 exposed wires under the insulation, then I would say it is not safe to use. Their is now a path for saltwater to get inside through the seal/epoxy.
Any way you can post a pic of it?

Rogers post is interesting, but I still would not risk using it. How much is a new pump? You are talking that price with something that could possibly risk your life.
