I have a sailing boat that's decking is marine ply, it's showing it's
age as it was left for three years uncovered and the marine ply is,
although sound, discoloured and stained in place, as well as starting
to cracj a bit. Is it possible to apply something like Teak oil before
marine varnish to help revive the wood?

The traditional way with preparing brightwork for revarnish is to
scrape. There's a variety of useful scrapers out there usually with a
2 inch or 3 inch blade which can be turned or replaced. They usually
have a yellow handle, I notice (!)
The idea of a wood floor buffer comes to mind as well.....
