I found a large rubberband partially coming out from around the bilge pump...I've got the service manual and unless I'm blind i can't find a reference to one in that location.....anybody else see this or know what it might be for?

is it the dried ring of caulk that got pressed out during manufacture of the boat?

20160703_070148.jpg No its like a big rubber band that would seal the pump between the liner and hull...i thought maybe to restrict any fumes from sinking into the cavity....lousy seal if that was the case

Okay, certainly not what I was referring to.

Looks more like just a large rubber band vs a seal. When we put in our Lowrance we found alot of stuff that should have been cleaned out from assembly.

Im beginning to think that an enterprising installer wrapped this around the pump to keep any wayward parts from finding their way into the bilge
