There are 2 options that I know of:
1. Use an old PL259 with a short length of coax still attached and
tape/protect as your other connections.
2. A screw on weather proof connector is made for specifically for
SO239s. Basically a screw on cap (same threads as a PL259)
with a rubber gasket inside. Any place (like Mouser, etc) probably
sells them.
