[NLRS] Any Hy-Gain VB-28FM Owners?

[KBØNLY]

I got a VB-28FM new in the box that was missing some parts, fortunately I 
was able to order replacements from Hy-Gain but they are taking FOREVER to 
ship them out.. Anyway..

How did you guys attach the feedline and make it watertight?  I was planning 
on taking a piece of feedline, JT2015F which is foam dielectric, and 
attaching the braid and center with ring terminals as shown in the manual, 
but then how do you keep it protected from the weather?

The only thing I can think of is liberal use of heatshrink and tape, but I 
don't think even that would prevent the coax from taking on water over time. 
Comments, suggestions??
