I took the plastic insulators off of the inline crimp connectors, crimped them bare, then soldered, then heat shrink tubing, then electrical tape over that. I once bought some connectors labelled "weatherproof" and they basically looked like the normal connectors with longer plastic sleeves. Prob are better options but that's what I had on hand and I usually only use my trailer to launch in the spring and to retrieve in the fall.
These are the ones to get.

After the crimp, you heat then with the heat gun. They have adhesive inside the seals the connection. You must use quality crimpers to use these or any type of crimp connector.

Of course if you do it right the first ime, you never have to re do it.Easy to undo and redo without cutting wires and installing those new fancy-pantsy connectors every time.
Actually spelled Ancor.Panduit or Anchor for me.

I get a good laugh when I see a boat trailer with wire nuts on the wiring.Lots of fancy-pantsy options.
I use wirenuts pre-filled with high temp grease.

Works for me.
