I've always been a big fan of Never-Seez

The Regular Grade Anti Seize is the old stand-by
"The "original" anti-seize compound and extreme pressure lubricant formulated with copper, graphite, aluminum and other ingredients to protect metal parts against rust, corrosion and seizure up to 1800ºF. "

They now have Mariners Choice Anti-Seize "Never-Seez® Mariner's Choice is a heavy duty anti-seize and extreme pressure lubricant formulated to assure absolute parts protection against seizure, galling and corrosion in fresh and salt water environments. Contains 7-13% Copper & 1-5% Alum Powder"

as well as other for SS & other specific applications... any of these should do the job - I keep a tube in each of my tools boxes.
Available at most marine & auto parts stores.
