I found a remarkably good family of Chinese connectors on Amazon. Plastic waterproof circular connectors, a great many sizes and pin counts. O-ring seals everywhere, easy to solder and good compression seals on the backshell. I’m using them for anything outdoors now, but also very nice for something like you want to do. Most of the offerings include a cable-mounted plug and a chassis-mounted receptacle. Search for "aviation circular waterproof connector.”  Here is one:
