Skipping connector seals seemed fine until moisture ruined a setup.

Now I always take the extra minute to protect connections from the elements.

In marine environments, salt spray can corrode pins even with seals if not checked yearly. That slow damage adds up to total system failure way faster than plain moisture. So regular inspection becomes as key as the initial seal.

My buddy's sailboat in San Diego got wrecked by salt spray in three years. I always figured seals did the job, but your post made me realize regular checks are key.
