Default antiseize for brass in salt water?

Navel Bronze. No tin. I have some Navel that has been under active
salt water for over 50 years. Beautiful brown color.

If it is pipe - my hardware store sells bronze pipe.

Brass in sal****er will have the zinc leached out. Stainless will have pitting if the salt water is stagnate, but is okay in salt water that has oxygen in the salt water.

Bronze is what he needs for salt water..or 416 stainless
