weatherproof male/female connectors for electrical cable
 

Hello,

Not sure if this is quite the correct group but thought someone could
help/advise.

I am running a cable from the battery on my motorcycle to a GPS
device. I would like to be able to disconnect the cable and not leave
the end uncovered (rain etc). The best way seems to be, to interrupt
the cable, and place some kind of weatherproof m/f connector part way
through so that I can leave a weatherproof end-piece behind.
Unfortunately, the cable itself does not come with any kind of cap or
protector and I don't feel like lifting the tank, and unscrewing the
battery everytime I take it off ;)

Does anyone know of a good connector set that is going to work here?
Or any advise on where to check?

Cheers

Have a look at the weatherproof connectors he-

You might need to buy a second one and leave that in place when removing
the wanted one.
