==Weatherproofing==
Generic recommendations for protecting electrical connections from the weather.
;Recommendations [http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=7771.msg65484#msg65484 via "togo"]:
# Clean with electrical cleaner, dry, and reconnect.
# Add a layer of good electrical tape, like Scotch 33+.
# Add a layer of rubber compound
#* Some of the guys like the rubber tape they use to splice AC motor leads with.
#* others like to use Coax-Seal, or Dux-Seal
#* both are putty-like compounds that don't harden.
# Finish it off with another wrap of good weatherproof electrical tape, like Scotch 33+.
; Alternatives
: Liquid Tape, Plasti-Dip, Krylon spray, or the 3M stuff that comes in a can with a brush.
: Whatever you use, start with a layer of good quality electrical tape. It makes it much easier to undo the goop when you have to go back and repair the connection, or move the unit.
