Well, having lived on boats for a bit I'll tell you Hawaii is easy compared to that. . .at least it isn't salt water.
The product Boeshield T-9 is pretty effective and not a gimmick. It dries which is good too. Anhydrous lanolin is the best for threads and locks and such, and I find chainsaw bar oil to be pretty good too. Motor oil is no substitute. For treating rust and such Ospho or other P. acids are good. Most pros prime on ships use oil based enamels anymore as expoxies are somewhat out of favor, but a 2 part such as Ameron 335 bar rust is good, especially with an oil base as a top coat.
