# Wire Exposed

#### What You Are Seeing

Sometimes the smaller internal wires (red and black) are visible where the cable enters the metal connector on the motor cable. This is usually not a big deal, but over time it can reduce waterproofing at that connection.

#### How to Fix

1. **Loosen the connector.** Hold the smooth center base with one hand and rotate the knurled top part **counter-clockwise** until the cable is loose.

2. **Push the cable in.** Push the cable into the connector until the red and black wires are no longer exposed, and a bit farther to improve the waterproof seal.

3. **Tighten the connector.** While keeping light pressure on the cable so it stays seated, rotate the top part **clockwise** to tighten the connector.

4. **Check the result.** The cable should sit fully inside the connector with no internal wires visible.
