Apply some silicone dielectric compound (non-hardening silicone "grease") to the coax center conductor. That will keep moisture out and prevent corrosion.
This actually belongs anyplace anything is threaded or clamped. It will displace from pressure and allow a connection, but it seal the joint from moisture and air.
I use it in connectors in my race car even.
