Furthermore, it's completely open. I might be wrong and you may have taken care of that, but it's not apparent in the photos. You siliconed the male plug for extra moisture protection, but the box with the GFCI is pretty much open to moisture through that opening for the cable, effectively negating the the benefit of the waterproof cover you added. Not a deal breaker but a strain relief is required by code on any cable going into or coming out of any kind of service box.
