The best marine rust preventative was supposed to have been whale oil. They noticed back in the Nantucket days that all the iron fittings of the ships that got whale oil on them didn't rust despite all the salt spray. I've read that "rustoleum" paint originally contained whale oil. Of course whale oil is hard to come by these days.
