When I go my C dory, it had a foam sleeve over the steering and throttle cables in the splash-well. But the sleeve was falling apart so I removed it. It looked similar to foam pipe insulation, and was zip-tied around the cable bundle.
What is it's purpose? Should I bother trying to replace it? _________________ James Salay - Real Estate Broker / Investor, Engineer, Artist, Fisherman, Canyoneer, Outdoor Enthusiast

I have an aluminum fish/storage box in my splash well and when trolling with the kicker, the cables rattle against the box which is really irritating. So, I have split pool noodles or pipe insulation and tie-wrapped them to the cables to stop the rattling......

Not for me, anyway. Just a way to stop going bonkers with the noise......
