Since I would assume it will not be exposed to the environment except when in use, I highly recommend a Pelican case. They are pricey but are injection moulded to take a beating and have a highly water resistant o-ring design. They can also serve as a PFD. I highly recommend storing it in a case under conditions like it will likely be subject to on the water. Pelican are unbeatable.

+1. Absolutely the right choice. The case would also protect extra ammo. As for the price tag, it is in the same range as a cerakote job.
Buy a shotgun with marine grade chrome plate. Then clean it regularly.

If you are still weighing refinishing options, I can recommend Robar's NP3+ finish. Am not affiliated with Robar other than as a customer.

Thanks for the link. They have a variety of great finishing options for firearms. Appreciate it.

I'd go parkerizing over cerakote on ferrous metal. If aluminum just rough up the anodizing and spray and bake cerakote. On my 590a1 I had the receiver since it is aluminum alodined and then cerakoted. I just had them degrease the barrel and magazine tube well and spray cerakote over the park. No rust issues thus far.
The park will act as a primer and give an extra layer of rust protection.
Or kg kphos all the metal including aluminum and then kg gunkote the metal over that. You won't have any rust issues probably if you do these two types of finishes.
Kphos is basically a spray on phosphate coating. You can actually use it on aluminum as well. It acts as both a primer and another layer of rust protection.
Ive included a pic of my Mossberg 500 20 gauge that was kphos on all metal inside the receiver and out and then kg gunkoted in milspec od green as an example.
Also ive included a pic of my magpul fde cerakoted 590a1 mentioned above.
