Bill,
I have rewired both the bow and stern pulpits ON NiftyNickers.What you have is a great glob of 3m5200 it the hole in the deck thru which the wire passes.On the 37 the wire passes thru the rear-most port side leg of the bow pulpit.
You may be able to access the wire and glob by loosening that foot and raising it a couple of inches.The pulpit structure has enough GIVE to allow you to raise that foot a inch or so.
good luck,
Dianne and Chuck Burke S/V NiftyNickers C37 #139
