I would use some flexible silicone sealer or that marine neoprene rubber, then wrap the whole area of the repair with self-sealing rubber tape, any hardware store should carry it.
if its not going in the water well bit different. other opotion is cut and join with water proof casing like people use on xcals etc..

I wouldn't use silicone on it at all, the vapors off that stuff in corrosive when its trapped in.
I'm thinking that I would consider some of the glued lined (water proof) heat shrink, yes you would have to remove the connector to slip it over the cable, but if you mark the wires to their original locations and your handy with a soldering gun (or no someone who is) then its not a big deal to put back on.
They use the water proof heat shrink for a lot of marine applications.
