What do you guys do to keep the ends of the chartplotter cables from corroding over the winter? I used to just keep the plotter hooked up all winter, so there weren't any exposed cable ends. But, that was when we stored the boat at home, and had an el cheapo plotter that you couldn't pay someone to steal. Now we have a newer plotter and store the boat at Occoquan Regional Park (where we often launch), and we won't have our eye on the boat. So, we don't leave the plotter hooked up to the cables. The plotter unit itself will be stored at home. But the cables, with exposed ends, will be on the boat all winter.
I thought about wrapping the ends in plastic, but then decided against it, as that might collect condensation.
What do all do about exposed cable ends, if anything?
The boat is not shrink wrapped, but does have a winter cover. Rain stays out, but I'm sure it gets plenty of moist air / humidity
Thanks!
