[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 375667, member: 7544"] From the pics it appears that the inner sheathing is intact so wrapping it like suggested should work fine for a while. And not to contradict you Johnny, but vinyl tape isn't worth the vinyl it's made from for waterproofing anything you need to stay water tight for more than 10 minutes. For the outer layer on top of the cloth tape, I'd use some vulcanizing or self fusing rubber tape similar to this. https://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-3-4-in-x-22-ft-Temflex-Splicing-Tape-2155/202195401 There are other types, brands, and size rolls out there, but some of them get pretty pricey.
