How can you protect a metal indoor fountain from rust?

It must be cleaned, I mean really-really clean, scour with steel wool. It must be completely clean, even in the cracks, then apply a spar varnish. (they use it on boats) put on 2 or 3 coats per instructions, make sure its completely dry before you start it up again.
