Also how is shrink wrap water proof?

The water will get into most plugs and thats why they make dielectric grease. You don't slather it on you put a small dab in the contact area.
as long as your using the correct size for the guage wire your using it should seal around the wire... just as water proof as the shielding on the wire itself.
