Instead of using coax seal or silicone which is 
messy, i simply place such vulnerable points as mentioned inside plastic

I've posted this one before.  I use Coke plastic bottles...16 oz size for 
this one is perfect.  Inset coax and seal the entrance point.  The damn things 
last for years floating around oceans and even in the Florida sun, I have yet to 
have one crack.
