go to your local auto parts store and buy a tube of dielectric grease. Fill your electronics with it and and go sink your rig without fear.

The best thing to do is buy a can of Corosion X. fill everything with it and you are done. It is a spray. I have used it for years in my boats. its a lot cleaner than grease. Try it, it works.
