i do know that a automotive clear lacquer can be applied to any bright finished metal in order to seal it from the salty air.
even marine 316 stainless steel needs a good scrub from time to time to clear out any build up in the "grain" of the finish.
any good ship chandlers should be able to get you the marine grade bolts - grease them before installation and clear lacquer over the top of bolt head to seal them.
