[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]There are some cool options out there. First, you can buy butt connectors that have heat shrink on them. make your crimps and heat the butt connectors with a lighter to create a water proof seal around the wire insulations.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3][/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Also marine grade heat shrink tape is available. This not only shrinks but has a heat activated glue on the inside that will seal itself even around multiple wire strands. You can buy this from most marine shops in various diameters and up to 12" long. Be forewarned though, none of this stuff is cheap but they do what they are intended to do, make marine quality electrical splices and connections.[/size][/black][/font]
