One suggestion.. Make sure you SEAL the connections, if you taped them with common electrical tape that will NOT seal, water can enter and do damage.
To seal:
Method one is to overwrap the electrical tape with RESCUE tape
(NOTE: I think Radio Shack sells an "Antenna Tape" this is basically the same thing, for use on antenna connections also works here)
Method two is a brush on or spray on coating, Liquid electrical tape or Flex Seal.
Method: Do this next time
Marine grade heat shrink tubing, this is common heat shrink with a mastic liner, It seals water (heck AIR) tight when it's shrunk.
