Default Salt air corrosion in electrical connections - how to prevent?

Hi all, I'm having a problem with corrosion in electrical connectors in

a
marine application (my boat located in the Atlantic); the connectors are
located in free air, not under water or anything. Does anyone know of a
treatment I can apply to the connector's contacts to prevent this from
happening permanently? If not permanently, perhaps some kind of

substance
I can apply on a scheduled basis? I'd rather not seal the connectors, as
some times I need to replace parts which include the wired connector to
the device.

Thanks for any help or insights!

Don't forget to only use tinned conductor cables as well as the grease !!
A monthly spray with CRC or whatever would be an easy approach as well.

Also, maybe add Rec.boats.electronics to your list of news groups, if you
haven't already!
