I've just reinstated SLS and have a brand new compressor and case.

The old compressor when opened was full of water and can only assume it was from 2-3 water crossings i did last year when I was on coils.

Im thinking of fabricating some kind of waterproof cover to put over it on trips to keep out the dusty and water...

Has anyone done anything like this?

water and heat are the big killers of SLS compressors.
Making it water proof will also stop any cooling air:(

can you seal the actual pump properly?
