If weatherproof means waterproof, then that is a tall order. I've been
using the TE Connectivity CPC series circular plastic connectors and
silicone tape and 3M #33 for taping them and that seems to work. It is
a bit tricky to get the right parts together (boots, pins, shells,
housings) as they are ordered al a carte.
I've found that the series 1 shell size 17 is the best size, ok for 16
ga wire, gold pins are available, and 9 and 16 pin sizes are in stock at
Mouser. Buy the cheap crimper and pin extractor, they are worth it.
I've put these together wrong more than I care to admit. Digikey also
stocks this line and once I've needed both sources to get the right parts.

I'm spending way too much time trying to find what I need, time to ask...
I need to be able to break apart my rotor cable, so I need a
weatherproof M/F set for 8 conductor 18 AWG.
Also I need to break apart the Steppir control cable, 12 conductor + shield
22 AWG.
These disconnects are at the top of the tower so a weatherproof M/F set
is very important.
