Di-electric grease. You can get one-time use packets at any parts store. It's predominantly to prevent corrosion on connectors, rather than to prevent water damage, but it works for that, to a point.

Dielectric grease is generally non-conductive and used primarily for excluding moisture. Because it's non-conductive you have to make sure any physical / mechanical electrical connections are clean and secure.
Alternatives to dielectric, if you're worried about corrosion, are anti-sieze lubricant and dissimilar metal coatings like NoAlox, KopperKote, etc., sold in the electrical department at many hardware stores. You have to be careful with them though since they are conductive and if used on a multi-conductor connector can cause shorts between terminals.
