My favorite method is to heat up the WHOLE FASTENER until it is glowing red/orange and then douse it with cold water from the garden hose. this will remove most of the excess rust and prevent the threads from galling. As for the Anti sieze I use it on everything EXCEPT marine, Silver antisieze is powderd aluminum and when mixed with salt water it becomes everseeze. Marine grade blue grease works much better than antisieze in those aluminum/stainless situations.
