Is the cabin supposed to be sealed from the engine bilge?

Is the cabin sealed from engine compartment on your boat? We have a 2007 240 DA and the air conditioner intake is not sealed to the cabin and sucks in air from the engine bilge and circulates it into the cabin. The dealer is checking on this, but I just wanted you opinions on it.

Thanks, I checked it out and there are some holes where the silicon job wasn't done well and left some finger size spaces into the engine compartment.

While fishing my iPod wire I noticed that the toilet sewage lines were gooped up with about a gallon of silicone where they passed through the bulkhead into the engine room. I'm assuming this is to somewhat stop any fumes or water from entering the cabin.
