After looking at the housing it would have been nice if they added a mounting flange with screw holes so we can mount it without having to 3d print a mounting solution. This would also make exposing the heatsink through a box a bit easier for cooling. Or offer 2 variants, flange/no flange.
Biggest failure of all Chinese vesc housings! Simply have a mounting flange with bolt holes that allow for a waterproof seal.

What do you mean?
Can you give pictures, examples?
And @mekanism why would you mount it in a box, if it is waterproof?
Similar to this but make it full perimeter flange so it can be mounted through a box or housing to expose the heat sink to water. I still think you will need some sort of box or enclosure as other electronics aren’t waterproof anyway.

I plan to mount this esc outside of a pelican and connected to the battery and receiver inside through a PG

How would you prevent the ESC from moving if mounted outside of the housing/box ? Adhesives ? Like @mekanism I had in mind a 3D printed ESC enclosure (not waterproof) guiding and masking the cables…
What do you mean by “PG”, even this without cut ?

It turns out the waterproof ESC is already available for purchase:

Just placed an order for the am32 version, long cables and mount. Fingers crossed it works well! Thanks for helping develop this.
Great! Please report back how you like the am32

I thought I would share a few photos of the unit I received. The ESC seems to be working fine after some trouble getting it to connect to my PC (I had outdated drivers, my computer is 12 years old). I haven’t connected it to a motor or receiver yet but the build quality looks great. The mounting plate is stainless steel and is heavy, and only has 2 screws holding the plate on but seems stout. I purchased the long cable am32 configuration. I included a ruler and a 6384 motor in the pics for scale.

I have a question that you might be able to answer. My homemade assist is with the typical 6384 and the ESC sequre 12200. I’m really happy with everything, but today I have a question: when I release the throttle trigger, the motor stops suddenly.
I think it’s fine, do you agree? Or should the deceleration be gradual and smooth?
This is normal. BTW there is also braking setting to play with if you want to.
