I have used Silicone on the plug wires and cap to help keep water out. Good luck.

You can make them water resistant, but waterproof is hard to say the least. Best best is to leave them alone and carry some water displacement solution with you if you anticipate getting wet.

that's a fancy way of saying WD-40.

Even dive watches no longer say water proof. They say water resistant. That being said I would think that marine distrubutors and other parts would be helpful.
