[QUOTE="mirrocraft16, post: 513688, member: 34654"] There are all types of heat shrink tubing, the good stuff, generally sold as 'marine' or severe duty has what looks like hot glue inside it that melts when its heated. Its 100% water proof. The heat shrink tubing really doesn't touch the wire itself, its over the insulation and the terminal on each end. I haven't checked lately but Napa used to carry the heat shrink with the glue inside. Wires corroded that bad will likely be damaged or compromised pretty far up the harness, no just where the insulation rotted off them. I cut back a chunk of harness the other day on a motor here and ended up just scrapping the harness, nearly ever last wire had green corrosion inside it, despite only have a few bare ends like that. $130 later and its good as new for another 40 years or so.
