Hi All During the week I had to make some repairs to a system on a fishing trawler. I had to install two new cameras, one was on the open deck and one in the processing factory. The camera on the open deck had a power problem and a new section of power cable was installed. The conductors of the old cable was black due to corrosion as was the RG59 screen (the customer did not want a new cable installed ). My question is how does one protect these type of installations against the weather. Even if it is for a 6 month period. I thought of using a product called denso tape (petroleum jelly based cloth tape). I installed watertight boxes for the cable connections and sealed the entries with silicon, cable glands would have been better but could not find suitable glands in the time frame.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Soundy could you possibly supply me with web references for the weatherproof connectors. Our suppliers (South Africa) supply the normal crimp connectors. I'm sure I will find them locally but if I have a manufacturer of the connectors my search will be so much shorter. Also when you say gel-filled, do you mean the grease that you mentioned in you post?
