American Radio Supply sells metal covers that thread onto SO-239, and have a soft rubber insert. I have been using them on outdoor connectors for years now, and they work well...

I would use Coax Seal. Same idea as duct seal but it's more pliable, more wx resistant and a little stickier. It will last forever, never hardens and can be peeled off when needed. Might want to screw pl-259 shells onto the socket threads first, then seal them. The sockets & shells will be pristine when you go to use them.

I wrap some duct seal putty around mine. Get it at Home Depot for cheap. Works fine. I forget what I paid, around $2-3 for a brick of it I think. Stays soft and pliable.

I just built a window antenna feedthrough panel, and want some waterproof covers for the unused bulkhead connectors. Most of the online reviews say that even the ones advertised to be waterproof are in fact not waterproof.
Anyone have a source for ones that are?
