The Engager Trailer BreakAway Kit with Charger and Tester part # 20099 is weather resistant but not waterproof. Which means that you would not be able to submerge the battery and box in water but it would withstand inclement weather. Ideally your best option would be to mount the battery in a location that is up high enough that it would not get submerged while backing the trailer in the water. Or at least close enough to the coupler that it would not get submerged. I attached an link on breakaway systems for you to check out also.
