You can use Butt Connectors, like # 05730-5, that you have referenced. To keep out water, you can use shrink tubing around the connections. Or another possible option is to use some Liquid Electrical Tape, # SWC50122, on the connections, and follow that up with actual electrical tape for added protection from moisture and corrosion. The liquid electrical tape will create a waterproof seal which would be ideal for a boat trailer.
