Should
I put some sort of anti-oxidation stuff on it before I mount the
antenna? I'll be removing the quick-release for the whip as well,
since this will be a permanent install and I want one less point of
failure.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Try to minimize the resistance in connections, they are at high current point.
Clean contacts, tight. You can use baby vaseline to coat the connections,
cheaper and good enough. Don't forget some counterpoise or radials.
