Do NOT use silica gel!!! it absorbs the water.. then releases it when the pressure changes or temp changes. (I know this because I flooded a sealed jbox with water by doing this!)
Drill a weep-hole in the lowest part of your gear, mount things high in larger than normal boxes so the water can settle in the bottom without touching voltage. Don't put your N-Female-bulkhead connectors on the bottom of the box.
