A decent teak oil will work, but you have to do it often. I gave up on my
teak bench and now it is silver.

Try your same posting on rec.cruising (serious boating hangout), or try to
get to a marine store.

If you want to seal it you can try Cetol (by Sika), or some equivalent. It
is pricey , but it will hold up to the UV and water. This is more like a
varnish than oil. Again, you have to do it often and should start with
multiple coats.

Good luck.
